People Partner

Very Good Security (“VGS”) is the leading developer-friendly platform to collect, store, and exchange sensitive and confidential data. We are on a mission to protect the world’s payment information — including personally identifiable information, payment credentials, secret management and much more. We are seeking global talent to support our VGS product portfolio including the VGS Zero Data™ platform, VGS Compliance, and VGS Payment Optimization.

VGS processes billions of sensitive data records, and its data under management has grown more than 10x year-over-year. Companies ranging from the Fortune 100 to innovators like Brex, Deserve, Doordash, Fast, and Mercury increasingly leverage the VGS platform to facilitate the secure exchange of their sensitive data while retaining ownership and control over sensitive data and transferring data custodianship to VGS. The Zero Data™ approach eliminates the need for companies to store sensitive data within their systems, streamlining regulatory compliance and certifications, including PCI-DSS and SOC 2. For example, banking-as-a-service Unit Finance uses VGS to expedite connectivity to payments networks while offloading PCI-DSS complexity.
