Very Good Security

Very Good Security (VGS) is a data security and tokenization platform that lets companies collect, protect, and exchange sensitive data (cards, PII, bank accounts, credentials) without it touching their own systems, reducing PCI DSS and compliance scope. The platform exposes a Vault HTTP API for tokenization (aliases / redact / reveal), an Accounts management API for vaults, routes, and organizations, and a forward/reverse Proxy that aliases and de-aliases data in transit.

Very Good Security publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including aliases API, organizations API, routes API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Security, Tokenization, Data Privacy, PCI Compliance, and Vault.

Very Good Security’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 9 more developer resources.
