A MORE SECURE
TOMORROW

Reports detailing the latest major online security breaches have dominated the headlines with alarming regularity – further deepening consumer mistrust in even the largest of household-name companies. 

380,000
customers of British Airways had their data stolen

150,000,000
user profiles of the Under Armour health and exercise app, MyFitnessPal, were illegally accessed by hackers

209,000
credit card numbers and 182,000 documents were comprised in the Equifax data breach

Despite the uncertainty, we still have to put our faith in the cyber systems in place to function in the Digital Age. But how can users be sure their valuable personable data and credit card information remains safe?

PII SECURE:
FAST FACTS

PII Secure is capable of providing cybersecurity for payments and personally identifiable information (PII) across numerous multibillion dollar verticals including Financial, Telecom, Travel, Governmental, Retail, Healthcare, Educational and Public Sector.

Launched in March 2018, PII Secure’s proof-of-concept application offers flexible solutions for reducing the risk of handling credit cards and personal information in a GDPR, PCI and PII-friendly format.   

VAULT-LIKE
SECURITY

PII Secure’s first-phase application provides the protection needed to meet the challenges of modern data security. It’s a virtual vault for card details and personal information, keeping sensitive data under lock and key and warding off potential thieves.

It’s simply impossible to function in today’s society without using your credit card, often for deposit information. PII Secure makes those transactions safer. 

CARD VAULT
KEY FEATURES 

User-Friendly
When a client decides to implement PII Secure, they can do it immediately and efficiently—often with the ability to start processing transactions and securing data the same day. Clients can operate without having to handle payment data, reducing risks including human error, misconduct or mishandling.

Efficient Behind the Scenes
PII Secure can be connected directly to payment gateway processors. On the backend, every client is authenticated and their transactions are time-stamped and audited. As the pool of pre-approved consumers grows, they can interact with them more safely and seamlessly within the authenticated ecosystem.

Hacker-Proof Tokenization
PII Secure is able to deliver a deeper level of security through tokenization of payment card and financial account information. This process completely removes and replaces sensitive data from the system with an undecipherable token while the original information is stored in an un-hackable, highly secured cloud vault.

Advanced Data Management
PII Secure provides comprehensive management and security of offline personal data and credit card details. Businesses are not only able to keep their client information secure, but also add to, update or delete files in their system on request or as required by increasingly strict data protection directives.

GDPR and PCI-DSS Compliance
New EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards were put into effect in 2018 to reflect the dangers of data theft worldwide. PII Secure is validated to provide instant PCI compliance and helps reduce the risks of running afoul of GDPR.

Multiple media outlets have written articles on the ease of use and efficiency of PII Secure. Company CEO, Brian Dass has been featured on Lodging Leaders, a top ranked business podcast for hospitality professionals.
