Very Good Security

Very Good Security (VGS), founded in 2015, provides infrastructure for handling sensitive data without holding it. The company's core proposition is tokenization: real data is replaced with secure, format-preserving tokens that applications can treat like the original information, removing the need to store sensitive values directly. VGS describes itself as the world's leader in payment tokenization, and reports more than 3 billion tokens stored globally.

The company sells the VGS Zero Data Platform, a suite that combines tokenization with reduced compliance scope. Its components include a PCI-compliant Vault, a Card Management Platform, Network Tokens, Account Updater for keeping stored payment credentials current, and Card Attributes for card data enrichment. Integration is delivered through APIs and mobile SDKs, and the platform supports data orchestration across systems.

Technical work at VGS spans payment tokenization, format-preserving tokenization, data security, API-based data integration, and PCI compliance. The company also lists agentic commerce and AI agent transactions among its technical domains. Its software is applied in financial services, fintech, e-commerce and payments, and it is used by Fortune 500 companies. VGS is backed by Andreessen Horowitz and operates globally.
