How it Works

As the leading PCI Solution Provider, our platform enables companies to seamlessly operate on sensitive payment data without ever touching it.

The VGS Zero Data Platform shields you from sensitive data by substituting sensitive, raw payment data in real time, replacing it with non-relational aliases (a form of synthetic data) in place of original values. VGS operates at the network level, so your systems never come into contact with sensitive data. You stay completely protected without any architecture changes or the need to integrate a separate API; freeing your organization to focus on growing your business rather than the liability of protecting it.

FAQs

PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a worldwide standard for the secure handling of payment card data, first crafted by the major payment card brands in order to help prevent payment card fraud and protect cardholder data. Compliance is achieved after businesses verifiably fulfill all PCI DSS requirements, which is mandatory for all entities that handle consumer payment data.

PCI DSS requirements apply to any and all businesses that collect, store, or transmit payment card data. This includes merchants, marketplaces, E-Commerce businesses and even software solution providers who come in contact with sensitive payment data. Additionally, the level of PCI Compliance needed depends on how many transactions are processed per year; or may be a prerequisite for partnering with certain technical or financial institutions who’ve adopted a security-first mindset.

The cost of achieving and maintaining PCI Compliance can vary significantly from business to business due to a number of considerations, including how much PCI data they are processing and what resources the organization already has on hand. For companies that opt for the DIY route, upfront costs can reach as high as $1M, not including the roughly $100k+ annual maintenance costs that follow. However, businesses that opt to partner with VGS to offload their PCI Compliance burden on average, save between 50%-75% on related compliance costs and achieve their Report on Compliance (ROC) about 16x faster.

The PCI SSC (PCI Security Standards Council), created 12 PCI DSS requirements, which businesses that handle cardholder data must follow. The quickest and most cost-effective way to get PCI Compliant is to leverage VGS’ PCI-as-a-Service(PCIaaS) Solution. Speak with a PCI Expert to find out how.
