Tokenization

The Payment Card Industry Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires that any merchant that transmits, processes, or stores credit card information must implement sufficient measures to protect that data. Tokenization is one of the best ways to do that.

Tokenization is an affordable way for merchants to guard sensitive information. It is a remote storage technology that involves creating a unique customer ID for each customer record. This ID, or token, is the only thing stored on the merchant’s system, and is completely useless to criminals and hackers.

The Braintree SecureVault™ system is a cost effective way to become PCI compliant without the time consuming and costly hardware and software installations and upgrades that would otherwise be required. Tokenization is an efficient and safe method for taking care of your electronic transactions.

The Value of Remote Storage

With Braintree Payment Solutions you can store all your sensitive credit card data on our SecureVault, a Level 1 PCI compliant environment.

Recently there has been a number of high profile security breaches that have cost companies millions of dollars in fines and law suits. These breaches occurred because of insufficient security measures on internal systems. But if you employ a remote storage system, you don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Through tokenization the only thing a merchant has to keep on their system is the uniquely generated token. Should a criminal happen to get past your normal security measures or intercept a transmission, all they will find are numbers that are useless to them.
