The hard-to-face reality is that billions of personal records are exposed each year. A commonly used, yet incomplete solution, is tokenization. Tokenizing sensitive data does not eliminate the need to achieve and certify PCI DSS compliance.
In order to completely descope from PCI, a business can partner with a data custodian (VGS) that handles 100% of data capture and vaulting – removing any compliance risk and completely avoiding data leaks.

Massive data leaks, at this point, are becoming a frequent occurrence – with headlines regularly popping up highlighting cybersecurity disasters that have impacted millions of consumers.

Earlier this summer, news of a cybersecurity disaster rattled North American consumers. The highly-publicized Capital One data breach of 2019 led to the sensitive data exposure of 100 million Americans and 6 million Canadians – including hundreds of thousands of social security numbers and bank account numbers.

Similarly, in July, we learned about the whopping $700 million settlement as a result of the Equifax data breach. Now, years later, the 147 million customers impacted by that disaster all get a piece of that pie.

It only seems like a matter of time until the next multi-million-dollar data breach settlement will be announced, and another consumer data-handling organization will have their feet publicly held to the fire.

From the improper configuration of web applications to the massive security risk involved in cloud storage generally, companies have wisely been seeking alternatives to storing their own sensitive user data and opening themselves up to data breach risk.

The rise of tokenization

In order to reduce data leakage risk as much as possible, many tech organizations have leveraged a method called tokenization. It’s a way to limit storing plain text sensitive data within a company’s own systems by using “tokens” to replace private user information like medical data or credit card numbers.

Unlike encryption, where a mathematical equation can “solve” the data replacement and reveal the original sensitive information, tokenization is not reversible. With no mathematical relationship to the original data point, tokenization is widely considered to be a safe way of transmitting and storing critical information.

However, tokenizing sensitive data does not eliminate the need to achieve and certify PCI DSS compliance – although it can reduce the number of system components to which PCI DSS compliance would apply.

With tokenization, sensitive data is mostly hidden. But, there are two points where tokenized data still remains within the scope of PCI DSS compliance: the data vault and the original point of capture.

Even when organizations store and use tokens instead of raw sensitive data, the original data is within PCI scope because they’re still within the cardholder data environment. In this environment, a business is still responsible for any leaked data.

But what if businesses could offload this data risk fully, and enjoy the benefits of tokenization while keeping all the original data completely off their own systems?

Descoping entirely

In order to completely descope from PCI DSS compliance, a business can partner with a data custodian that handles 100% of data capture and vaulting – removing any compliance risk and completely avoiding data leaks.

VGS is an innovative data custodian that takes on their clients’ compliance risk, securely storing all sensitive data and removing businesses from PCI scope in full.

By leveraging synthetic data ‘aliases,’ which are generated in real-time to protect all sensitive customer information, VGS empowers businesses to use customer data just as they did before – but never actually touch the sensitive data themselves.

Startups that work with VGS remove their compliance risk and avoid the potential risk associated with data breaches because there’s nothing to steal in the first place.

In the context of data security, modern digital businesses realize the dangers that come with using sensitive information in its raw form. Figuring out a way to collect and use the original data without putting it at risk remains a challenge, and organizations must channel a lot of their resources into IT security that protects their users’ sensitive data.

With so many highly-publicized data breaches hitting newspaper headlines in recent years, including a massive Capital One data breach in 2019, it has become more important than ever to protect sensitive consumer data and limit its exposure to data leaks.

Thankfully, a number of innovative technologies have made it easier to reduce data security risk – as well as meet the requirements of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ( DSS) compliance.

From encryption and tokenization to next-generation methods like aliasing, businesses in the digital age have a number of options when it comes to protecting and safely using sensitive user information.

Encryption and tokenization are two of the most popular of these methods.

While they both serve valuable functions in countless modern organizations, they both have their own unique drawbacks – and many businesses may not even realize what new and innovative options are currently available to them.

Sensitive Information and the Growing Threat of Data Breaches

The hard-to-face reality is that billions of personal records are exposed each year.

Just in the first half of 2019, for example, there have been over 3,800 publicly disclosed data leakage events in which an astonishing 4.1 billion records were compromised, according to the 2019 MidYear QuickView Data Breach Report.

As we continue to discover the trends of data breaches, it becomes clear that large-scale data leaks make up the lion’s share of overall cybersecurity breaches. The same report cites that 3.2 billion of the 4.1 billion leaked records were exposed from just eight data leakage events.

Massive data leaks are fast becoming a frequent occurrence – with headlines regularly popping up highlighting cybersecurity disasters at popular corporations that have impacted millions of people.

In the summer of 2019, news of a cybersecurity disaster rattled North American consumers. The highly-publicized Capital One data breach of 2019 led to the sensitive data exposure of 100 million Americans and 6 million Canadians – including hundreds of thousands of Social Security numbers and bank account numbers.

Similarly, in July of 2019, we learned about a whopping $700 million settlement that resulted from the Equifax data breach. Now, years after the incident, the 147 million customers impacted by that disaster all get a piece of that pie.

It only seems like a matter of time until the next multi-million-dollar data breach settlement will be announced, and another consumer data-handling organization will have their feet publicly held to the fire.

Thankfully, a number of innovative data security approaches have made it easier to safely collect and store sensitive data – greatly reducing the risk of data breaches.

Figuring Out How to Protect Sensitive Data

Even if an organization does not vault credit card payments or other forms of sensitive data, any modern business must invest sufficiently in their cybersecurity protections.

But for companies that collect, store or transfer sensitive information, such as cardholder data like Primary Account Numbers (PANs) or other types of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), from account passwords to Social Security numbers – the importance of airtight data security systems is substantially higher.

Apart from making customers feel safe using their products, businesses also have to meet various regulatory requirements to prove that they’re compliant with one or more legal frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI.

Given the disastrous effects that a cybersecurity mishap can have on a company of any size, combined with the various compliance frameworks they must abide by, modern businesses are investing substantially in data security programs.

From building their own IT security teams to hiring a third-party cybersecurity vendor, companies need to make sure they’re safeguarding their users’ sensitive data.

And, these days, when we talk about how businesses protect sensitive data, we’re usually mentioning either tokenization or encryption. Nearly every digital organization already relies on tokenization and/or encryption, to some degree, as part of their IT security policies.

But which is best, and how are they different?

Tokenization vs. Encryption: What’s the Difference?

Encryption vs. tokenization – what is the difference, and which is superior.

The truth of the matter is that both of these data protection techniques offer unique strengths for particular use cases, and both are incredibly valuable for various types of businesses.

Encryption locks sensitive data behind a complex mathematical algorithm, and this encrypted form is only “unlockable” using a specific encryption key. Once the encryption is “solved” at the end point, the sensitive data is revealed in its true format.

Tokenization, on the other hand, is a way to limit storing plain text sensitive data by using “tokens” to replace the original data. Unlike with encryption, these tokens are not reversible and cannot be solved. These nonsensitive tokens must be revealed using the correct tokenization solution – making tokenization more appropriate than encryption for structured data, like credit card numbers.

However, with both tokenization and encryption, the original sensitive data still resides on a business’ servers to varying degrees. With tokenization, for example, there are two points where the raw sensitive data is at risk: the data vault and the original point of capture.

This means that there are still system components where the original sensitive data is flowing – making these systems still within the scope of PCI DSS requirements.

But what if businesses could still use sensitive data exactly as they are now, but not possess it at any point?

By removing the sensitive data from a company’s systems entirely, those networks would be out of PCI DSS compliance scope.

This is where data aliases come into the picture.

Descoping Entirely with Data Aliasing by VGS

While helpful with data security, both encryption and tokenization maintain original sensitive data in a business’ possession. With aliasing, it’s possible to collect, store and transfer this same data just as if it was in its raw state, but without ever possessing it in the first place.

By working with a third-party data security partner that provides data aliasing, you can benefit from sensitive data while keeping your systems completely clean – removing those systems from PCI DSS compliance scope entirely.

As a trusted data custodian, VGS handles 100% of data capture and vaulting for businesses that leverage their data security solutions. By using VGS’ Zero Data approach, companies remove their systems from PCI DSS compliance scope entirely – removing any compliance risk and completely mitigating the risks of data leaks.

VGS takes care of all collection, storage and transfer of sensitive data on your business’ behalf using its innovative Zero Data aliasing method, so your systems are descoped from compliance requirements entirely.

Moreover, when businesses implement VGS solutions to handle their sensitive data, they instantly inherit VGS’ best-in-class security posture, which enables them to fast-track their certifications like PCI, SOC2 and others.
With data security as one less thing to worry about, organizations are empowered to focus their time and resources on what truly matters: continuing to grow their core businesses.

The world’s original cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, offers users a plethora of advantages over traditional fiat currencies.  The decentralized nature of this cryptocurrency makes it ideal for storing value and transferring funds.  Bitcoin has undergone significant upgrades since it was first introduced to the world via Satoshi’s whitepaper nine years prior and today, Bitcoin software development is ushering a new era of tokenization into the global economy.

Tokenization

Tokenization is the process of assigning real-world assets to a digital token that lives on the blockchain.  There are some serious advantages that can be obtained through this process, and this is why numerous development teams have spent millions of dollars thinking of unique ways to make the tokenization process more streamlined.  Storing the ownership rights to a particular item on the blockchain is a huge upgrade over the current complex paper systems in operation.

Tokenization provides the global economic structure with more efficient means of registering, transferring, and proving ownership over certain assets.  Tokenizing a particular item allows the owner to transfer the property as easily as it is to transfer BTC.

Tokenized-home

Tokenized Real Estate Would Provide for a More Efficient Market

There are numerous reasons why a property owner would seek to employ blockchain technology to protect their investments.  The immutable and unalterable nature of blockchain technology makes it perfectly suited to handle ownership-related tasks and by upgrading to a tokenized system, a higher level of security and efficiency can be achieved in the market.

Bitcoin Software Development – Colored Coins

Bitcoin’s scripting language has always allowed users to store small bits of metadata on the blockchain, and savvy developers have spent years creating different means into which this data could be used to represent ownership of a particular asset.  The term “colored coins” is used by many to describe BTCs that have ownership rights attached to them.  Colored coins are seen by many in the crypto community as the next step in the evolution of the BTC saga that has already seen this crypto go from a digital currency to a store-of-value, and now, real asset ownership rights.

Intangible Assets

The term “real world assets” can be loosely used to describe any item that holds value outside the digital realm. Among these items are intangible assets, or items that have no physical form in the real world.  This can include items such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights.  Intangible items are much easier to tokenize than items that have a physical representation but there are still some limiting factors that must be addressed before full-scale tokenization can occur in this business sector.

Items such as copyrights can have very different legal transfer structures that must be followed.  These can vary across state and country borders.  This would mean that any tokenization of these assets would have to be able to fall in line with the country of origin in which the item is being transferred from to ensure that the transfer of the ownership token is legally binding on an international level.

Fungible Assets

Fungible assets are items that are interchangeable with each other.  Items such as gold can be interchanged as long as the amount and quality of the property that’s in possession remains the same.  Fungible items are much easier to tokenize because there’s no need to create another layer of individual representation for the asset.  A token that represents 1-ounce of gold is the perfect example of a fungible asset.

Whoever is in possession of the ownership token is entitled to 1-ounce of gold at a certain purity level.  There’s no need for the token to be pegged to an exact piece of gold as would be the case in a token that represented, say, ownership in a particular piece of art.

Physical Assets

Tokenizing items such as real estate is considered by many in the industry as the next logical step in the evolution of BTC’s blockchain.  The real estate market benefits greatly from the introduction of tokenization to the sector.  The property ownership systems currently in place are grossly inefficient and in many instances, this can lead to disputes over the true ownership of a particular piece of real estate or parcel of land.

Old-deed

Blockchain Technology Provides More Security to the Market

Through tokenization, the owner of a property could be ensured that their ownership rights are not infringed upon.  The current paper-based system is filled with flaws in which property owners in many countries lack the ability to prove if there have been multiple paper rights provided to a particular property.  Duplicate land titles have been a real issue in developing countries where record keeping systems are still lagging behind.

Blockchain-based systems would eliminate these concerns from the market on a global scale and because of the cost-effective manner in which they can be implemented; any country can take advantage of the added protection afforded through the use of blockchain protocols.

Shared Assets

The ability to co-own assets in the digital economy is perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of this financial revolution.  Blockchain technology allows for multiple parties to own a particular asset at a fractional level.  For example, the platform Nametoken allows users to crowdfund premium domain investments.  These assets are tokenized and the investment protocols programmed directly into the blockchain contract.

Through the use of an integrated voting mechanism, Nametoken users can vote on when to sell the domain.  Upon the sale, all of the profits are automatically divided and sent to the investors involved via preprogrammed blockchain protocols.  Similar systems are currently being employed on everything from real estate to song ownership rights.

Bitcoin Software Development – Legal Issues

Perhaps the biggest concern to developers of tokenization platforms isn’t the protocol at all, but rather, the constantly shifting legal ecosystems of various jurisdictions.  Until a more global approach to these concerns can be achieved, it may still be years before true tokenization becomes a mainstream practice.  There’s no doubt that there is a serious need for this technology in the market and as with most revolutionary technological advancements, there is always a delay before the legal system can catch up to the technology.

A Tokenized Future is Ahead of Us

You can expect to see more tokenization-based platforms enter the market in the coming months.  The advantages of this revolutionary technology are undeniable and this year is already seeing governmental institutions researching how to implement such protocols into their current systems.  Hopefully, there can be some common consensus met that allows tokenized assets to be legally binding in the future as there are some clear advantages for all parties involved.
