Very Good Security · FinOps Profile

Vgs Finops

FinOps view of Very Good Security spend. VGS bills on consumption, where the primary cost driver is vault interactions (each token creation or exchange of a token for sensitive data), with stored-record volume and add-on services (network tokens, account updater, PCI compliance subscription, large file transfers, VGS Compute) layered on Growth and enterprise agreements. Public pricing is limited to a Starter entry point of $1,000/month, so dollar meters here are not reconciled.
