Why a Third-Party Token Vault is Good for PCI Compliance
Blog post from Basis Theory
PCI-DSS is an industry standard requiring merchants that accept credit cards to protect payment and personal data in transit and storage, with compliance obligations varying across four levels based on sales volume. While full-service payment service providers can simplify early operations by handling processing and much of the compliance burden, relying on one provider can create risks such as fixed or unfavorable fees, restrictive rules, data portability challenges, and business interruptions during outages. A token vault can support a multi-processor strategy by securely storing customer payment details and providing tokens that allow merchants to route transactions among different processors without directly handling sensitive card data. This approach can improve resilience, preserve access to customer payment information, enable payment-method and fee optimization, and provide backup processing options, though it adds some implementation and operational complexity.
