VGS Platform Overview

What is VGS Platform?

Very Good Security (“VGS”) makes it easy for customers to collect, protect and share sensitive financial data in a way that accelerates revenue, eliminates risk, ensures compliance, and drives profitability. VGS secures that information in an encrypted token vault; enabling our customers to de-risk their technical environment and achieve compliance certifications like PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, and more, faster. VGS delivers a modern solution to collect, protect, and exchange sensitive data that spans from data privacy to payment acceptance and card issuance; providing businesses with tokenization, PCI compliance, data security, processor optionality, and the ability to operate on that data without compromising their security posture. VGS delivers a modern payments security solution that gives businesses ownership and control over critically valuable customer data, granting them maximum portability, operationality, and value extraction. Through our Zero Data approach, VGS customers decouple the value and utility of data from the associated security and compliance risks and allow customers to achieve continuous PCI DSS compliance 16x faster, at 25% the cost of a DIY approach.

VGS Platform Demo - How VGS Collects, Protects, and Exchanges Data
The VGS Platform ingests data in any format from your users, aliases that data before it touches your organization, and securely sends the original data to any third-party endpoint.
VGS Platform Demo - How VGS Securely Transmits Sensitive Data
Sensitive data of any type, including payments data, PII, medical data, passwords, and more, is securely vaulted in a segregated VGS Vault, where it can then be safely forwarded to financial institutions, PSPs, regulatory agencies, and any other secure third-party endpoint.
VGS Platform Demo - How VGS Aliasing Works
Your customers can enter any type of data, including images for ID verification, into secure forms that can be tailored to meet your design specifications. The VGS Platform safely vaults the original data while you only see the secure data aliases.

What do you like best about VGS Platform?

The VGS Platform excels in providing robust security and compliance solutions without compromising performance. Its seamless integration with our existing infrastructure was particularly impressive. The platform's tokenization and aliasing capabilities ensure sensitive data is never exposed, significantly reducing our compliance burden. The detailed and customizable audit logs are invaluable for maintaining transparency and meeting regulatory requirements. Additionally, the developer-friendly API and comprehensive documentation made the implementation process smooth and efficient. Also they have a great customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VGS Platform?

I would like to be able to add initial values to certain form fields when using VGSCollect, so I don't have to use a workaround like working with two parallel forms, one VGS and the other non-VGS. Sometimes, due to business rules, we need to set initial values for some fields.

Overall, VGS has significantly enhanced our data security and compliance posture, and I highly recommend their services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We integrate with multiple payment gateways, and VGS allows us to switch between these gateways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VGS Platform?

It took me so little time to understand how VGS works and change our workflow to be proxied through VGS. Support has always been a great experience, especially via chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VGS Platform?

I guess it is the fee I need to pay for extra CNAMEs. It is $40 per extra CNAME at the moment, wouldn't it be great if it was less or bundled in the package we pay yearly? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to be PCI compliant so that we could process credit card information flown from our 3rd party integration. We realized that integrating with VGS saved us huge time and cost compared to building up the infrastructure and all the work required by doing it on our own Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VGS Platform?

The vaulting and tokenization solutions provided by VGS ensure full PCI compliance at an affordable cost.

Over the years, VGS has been a great partner, listening to our feedback and continuing to develop its product to fit our business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VGS Platform?

While the payments optimization solution (https://www.verygoodsecurity.com/payment-optimization) facilitates less sophisticated merchants to build their multi-PSP setup, VGS is still far from being considered an actual orchestration layer (such as Primer or Spreedly) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Thanks to its flexibility, VGS enabled our business to move from a static single-PSP setup to a dynamic multi-PSP ecosystem to achieve 1) increased uptime & redundancy 2) higher auth rates 3) lower costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VGS Platform?

Developers have multiple ways of tokenizing sensitive data that other tokenization services don't provide. VGS doesn't require a tedious and unnecessary integration process, just develop and go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VGS Platform?

If you want to be PCI Certified and don't require storing cards or your payment processor has their own tokenization service and recurring payment functionality, using VGS and be in a contract plus have to pay a PCI certification rep isn't cost-effective and possibly unnecessary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Providing security and the ability to store sensitive data in your database without the risk of said data being stolen or readable if your system is compromised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy usage and tutorials that explain how to do everything. In short: frictionless experience.

It also speeds up a lot the PCI compliance certification process which is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VGS Platform?

The price to generate custom CNAMES, $40 is too expensive to have a certificate in a world with free options like lets encrypt.

For VGS Control sometimes they are still missing some important steps that auditors requires, but I think it is just a matter of time to everything up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

PCI compliant and credit card obfuscation.

Drastically reduces efforts on data management, security and compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VGS Platform?

There is a super helpful team behind the scenes always willing to lend a helping hand in navigating the complexities and strict requirements for PCI DSS compliance. Their team is very responsive and they provide all of the documentation needed to show proof of compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VGS Platform?

Honestly hard to find anything to dislike with VGS. PCI DSS compliance in general is a painful, albeit very important requirement in the modern tech space. But VGS isn't setting the rules, they are just there to help tech companies follow them.

If I were to point out one area of improvement would be the configuration of sanitation rules. The rules are composed of a pattern-seeking language like a Regular Expression but the syntax seems very specific to their platform. This isn't much of a drawback as again, they help you every step of the way and once the rules are set one would rarely need to go back and update them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

VGS solves the problem of being PCI DSS compliant without having to go through the exorbitant cost of being directly PCI DSS Certified. It would be very difficult for small to medium-sized tech companies to develop services with custom payment solutions with the aid of PCI proxies like VGS.

They also offer a lot of services surrounding card capture/storage and technical compliance. Beyond card sanitation and vault storage, they can help with achieving SOC compliance. Another unique and powerful service is the ability to supply users with up-to-date card details for captured cards. This leads to less friction between the SAAS provider and end-user as the provider doesn't need to regularly follow up with the user for updated payment information.

What do you like best about VGS Platform?

It was easy to implement and has expanded with our needs. It has made the process of certifying with payment partners so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VGS Platform?

We would like it if we could filter our logs better. We send a lot of information to VGS but only want to look at some of it within the logging dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps make our PCI compliance easier with tokenization. It also helps us move between payment providers easier with orchestration. We don't need to write that code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VGS Platform?

Their API documentation is very well put together. There is a lot of solid code examples using their API on github. I was able to mock up a proof of concept quickly for my team lead to show that we could do what we wanted to accomplish using VGS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VGS Platform?

I can't say there is anything major I didn't particularly like about working with VGS. Perhaps the concepts around using VGS Proxy for detokenization could have been better explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

We previously used our payment processor to tokenize PII & PFI, but that was tying us to them needlessly. VGS allows us to easily switch between payment providers and adhere to security audit requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
