Encryption involves transforming readable data into a scrambled format that can only be accessed or decrypted by those who hold the correct key. It ensures that sensitive information stays protected, even if the underlying systems are compromised, helping businesses meet data protection regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA.
Tokenisation is also used to protect sensitive data but does so with a randomly generated “token” with no exploitable value outside the system. The data is stored securely in a token vault and only authorised systems can map the token back to the original information.
