Data privacy vault isolating sensitive fields with encryption and residency controls.
Skyflow is a data privacy vault: a managed service that isolates sensitive data — card numbers, personal information, health records — in a purpose-built store, handing your applications tokens in place of the raw values. Engineering and security teams use it to keep regulated data out of their main databases entirely, shrinking PCI and privacy compliance scope. In a revenue stack it sits underneath billing and payments systems, vaulting the customer PII and payment details those systems would otherwise scatter across services and logs.
Which of the capability map's modules Skyflow covers — each links to the module's own page, with every tool that supports it.
| Module | Phase | Depth | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grow Revenue | |||
| Field-Level Encryption (PCI/SOC2) | Platform & Intelligence | Core | vaulted fields with tokenization and encrypted operations reduce PCI and privacy scope |
| Data Residency & Sovereignty | Platform & Intelligence | Supported | per-region vaults pin sensitive fields to required jurisdictions |
The vault architecture is the point: instead of encrypting sensitive fields inside every database that touches them, you remove the data from those systems altogether and operate on tokens, with polymorphic encryption letting you run operations on data without decrypting it. Residency controls let one application serve regions with conflicting data-localization rules by pinning each customer's sensitive fields to the right jurisdiction.
Database encryption still leaves the sensitive data inside every system that queries it — and inside backups, replicas, and logs. A vault removes the data from those systems entirely; they hold only tokens. Your compliance scope collapses to the vault instead of spanning your whole architecture.
Under it. Billing platforms, CRMs, and analytics tools all want customer PII, and payment flows want card data. Vaulting those fields means the billing stack passes tokens around, and only tightly controlled paths ever touch real values — useful when data residency or PCI requirements would otherwise dictate your architecture.
