Very Good Security (VGS)

Very Good Security (VGS) is a data security platform specializing in payment tokenization. It enables businesses to collect, store, and share sensitive payment data without directly handling the underlying data, thereby reducing PCI DSS compliance scope and data breach risk. VGS operates as a proxy layer between an organization and its payment data flows. When sensitive data such as card numbers or bank account details enters a system, VGS intercepts and replaces it with a token — an alias that retains the format and structure of the original data but carries no exploitable value. The actual sensitive data is stored in VGS's secure vault, while the token is used throughout the organization's systems. This approach allows companies to transact with payment processors and financial institutions using tokens, forwarding the real data only when required by downstream services. The result is that the organization's infrastructure never stores or processes raw sensitive payment data directly. VGS is used by companies in fintech, payments, and financial services to meet compliance requirements and reduce their exposure to data breaches involving cardholder data.
