Case Study: a world's largest fashion retailer achieves secure, compliant data protection with comforte tokenization

a major fashion retailer reduces PCI audit scope with comforte tokenization

The customer, one of the world's largest fashion retailers, faced a challenge in securing its high-volume, real-time payment environment. While encryption provided security, it placed a significant burden on IT infrastructure. The retailer engaged vendor comforte to implement its tokenization solution to address this issue.

comforte's tokenization solution provided the same level of security as encryption but with a reduced burden on IT resources. The protection was extended beyond payment card numbers to include personal data. The results included saving time and resources by taking sensitive data out of scope for PCI audits and eliminating the need for encryption key management on tokenized data. The new tools also facilitate future cross-regulatory compliance.
