Explanation

The organization wants a reversible technology to protect sensitive information, meaning the original data must be recoverable when needed. Tokenization replaces sensitive data (like credit card numbers) with non-sensitive tokens, while the original data is securely stored in a token vault. The process is reversible by mapping the token back to the original data when required.
