# Product Overview

The VGS Secure Data Suite provides a unified framework for collecting, storing, and exchanging sensitive information safely across your applications and infrastructure.

At its core, the VGS Vault securely holds sensitive data and replaces it with VGS Aliases. Aliases are non-sensitive representations that preserve format and functionality while eliminating storage risk to the organization. Data can be transmitted securely through multiple ingress and egress channels and protocols, including the [**HTTPS Proxies**](/vault/http-proxy.md), [**Batch File Transmission Tools**,](/vault/batch-file-transmission.md) and the [**TCP Proxy**](/vault/iso-proxy.md). The platform also allows organizations to perform complex modifications and cryptographic operations to sensitive data in transit using [**VGS Compute**](/vault/developer-tools/larky.md)**.**&#x20;

Together, these tools enable an organization to operate on sensitive data such as payment credentials, social security numbers, passport numbers, passwords, and any other information that the organization deems sensitive.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verygoodsecurity.com/vault/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
