SecureKey Data Protection & Tokenization is a service that provides data protection through tokenization techniques. The service replaces sensitive data with non-sensitive tokens that can be used in business processes while maintaining data security. Tokenization works by substituting sensitive information with surrogate values, allowing organizations to reduce their exposure to data breaches and comply with regulatory requirements. The tokens maintain referential integrity and can be mapped back to the original data when authorized access is required. The service addresses data security challenges by minimizing the amount of sensitive data stored in production systems. This approach reduces the scope of compliance audits and limits the potential impact of security incidents. Organizations can use this tokenization service to protect various types of sensitive data including payment card information, personal identifiable information, and other confidential business data. The service operates as part of SecureKey's broader data protection offerings.
