Rest API driven Tokenization Solution

Tokenization can replace sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) such as credit card account numbers with non-sensitive and random string of characters, known as a ‘Token’. A token has no meaningful value if breached and therefore, can be handled and used by applications without violating privacy regulations.

The Fortanix Tokenization solution substitutes tokens for sensitive data using REST APIs to achieve privacy compliance. This helps eliminate the link to sensitive data and protect against data breaches and avoid regulatory penalties from data privacy regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Tokenization can also prevent insiders from accidentally or intentionally exposing customer data.

Why is Tokenization Important?

Tokenization helps achieve higher overall security standards. Tokenization is also required to meet standards set by Payment Card Industry Council and compliance requirements like HIPAA and GDPR.

Integrated data security
platform
Fortanix includes Hardware Security Module, Key Management, Encryption and Tokenization for your hybrid and cloud native apps, all from a single integrated solution. Cloud providers do not get access to the tokens or keys allowing for a secure migration to cloud.

Reduce the cost and effort for
PCI-DSS compliance
In the payment world, the customer’s 16-digit Primary Credit Card Account Number is replaced with a custom, randomly generated alphanumeric number, and stored securely to enable online transmission of this data.

Achieve HIPAA
compliance
Comply with HIPAA regulations by substituting electronically protected health information (ePHI) and non-public personal information (NPPI) using a tokenized value.
product-benefit-image
Privacy Compliance for Personally
Identifiable Information (GDRP, CCPA)
Sensitive data such as credit card, social security numbers can be masked to achieve compliance with a variety of privacy regulations. This increases customer trust as tokenization offers additional security and confidentiality of consumer information.
