If an organization is deciding between interacting with VGS hashes/tokens having to proxy requests or deploying a secret store like HashiCorp vault what are the pros/cons?

> When it’s time to bill your insurance company, their “reimbursement” code goes through VGS which “reveals” the token and sends the real version to the insurance company.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but that means all 3rd party integrations that require the sensitive values must be implemented by VGS correct?

Of course third 3rd party don't need VGS, you will send tokenized data through forward proxy, and at the other end they will receive real data. That is the usability.

the biggest pros of VGS: 1) tokenization/detokenization through their proxies does not require any code changes, you don't need to change your architecture ( which happens if you decided to add some secret storage like HashiCorp etc) 2) Compliances, VGS provides you: PCI, EI3PA, SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR
