comForte launches tokenization solution to address security audit requirements

April 13, 2011

Wiesbaden, 12th April 2011 - comForte 21 GmbH, a global provider of connectivity, middleware, and security solutions for the HP NonStop platform, today announced the launch of a new software solution for the tokenization of sensitive data which will be marketed globally under the brand name SecurData. Using SecurData, sensitive data in ENSCRIBE-based applications such as BASE24 can be encrypted without requiring any application changes.

"We are very excited to launch SecurData at a time when security audits such as PCI-DSS demand that sensitive data must no longer be readable where ever such data is being stored," says Michael Horst, Managing Director and Chief Architect of comForte 21. "SecurData helps any organization going through security audits to achieve compliance, to reduce the scope of the audit and to lower the ongoing costs of such audits. All in all it mitigates fraud risk as the encrypted tokens are useless to fraudsters"

The solutions is not limited to converting PANs into tokens rather it can be used for any kind of sensitive data that needs to be rendered unreadable such as national insurance numbers, passport numbers, patient numbers and the like.
