Skyflow
A secure vault that stores your customers' sensitive data (like credit card numbers or medical records) separately from the rest of your app, so a breach elsewhere can't expose it.

Description
Storing sensitive customer data like social security numbers, credit card details, or medical records directly in your main database means every part of your system that touches that database becomes a security and compliance liability. Skyflow's idea is to pull that sensitive data out into its own locked, specialized vault — your application still gets to use the data normally, but the actual sensitive values are encrypted and isolated, so a breach of your regular systems doesn't expose them.
Skyflow uses what it calls polymorphic encryption, combining tokenization and multiple encryption techniques, with bring-your-own-key (BYOK/BYOKMS) support for organizations wanting to control their own encryption keys. It supports global data residency requirements (relevant for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and PIPL compliance) with multi-region vault deployment, and handles structured and unstructured data including text, audio, and video. The company reports deployments in under three weeks with claimed 67% total-cost-of-ownership reduction versus building this in-house, and lists customers including GoodRx, Flipkart, Visa, and ServiceNow. It's available on AWS Marketplace and Google Cloud Marketplace.
💬 Our review
The short version: Skyflow is solving a real, expensive problem — most companies handling sensitive data end up either overbuilding custom encryption infrastructure or accepting compliance risk — and its vault-as-a-service model is a legitimate shortcut for teams that don't want to become encryption experts themselves.
Against Piiano Vault (which offers a similar concept but leans more toward a self-hosted, developer-first product) and smaller players like Basis Theory or Very Good Security, Skyflow differentiates on enterprise scale and marquee customers (Visa, ServiceNow, GoodRx) plus multi-region residency support that matters a lot for global companies navigating different countries' data laws. The lack of public pricing is standard for this category but still means you can't get even a rough cost estimate without a sales call, which is a real barrier for smaller teams evaluating options. For enterprises in healthcare, fintech, or any regulated industry handling real PII/PCI/PHI at scale who want a proven, well-funded vendor, Skyflow is a safe, credible choice; smaller teams or those wanting a self-hosted option to avoid vendor lock-in may prefer looking at Piiano Vault or building narrower in-house tokenization instead.
