Loss of sensitive data can lead to heavy regulatory fines affecting your company’s bottom line and reputation. Tokenization can replace this sensitive personally identifiable information (PII), such as credit card account number, to 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 as the original dataset. Fortanix helps substitute tokens for sensitive data using REST APIs to achieve privacy compliance. This helps eliminate the link to sensitive data and protect against data breaches.
With Fortanix, application developers can mask sensitive data like credit card, social security numbers etc. during the coding phase to achieve PCI-DSS compliance and add an additional layer of security
Comply with HIPAA regulations by substituting electronically protected health information (ePHI) and non-public personal information (NPPI) with a tokenized value
Tokenization can also be combined with data encryption to provide an additional layer of security that protects against insiders having access to decrypted sensitive data.
Combination of Format Preserving Tokenization (FPE) and role-based access control (RBAC) for application helps in protecting sensitive data. With Fortanix, relevant users can get authenticated through RBAC, query the data, and tokenize on the fly.
