What it is
StratoKey Cloud Data Protection Platform protects sensitive information before it reaches cloud applications and keeps it under an organization’s control. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, the platform provides gateways for data protection, identity, and APIs. The Data Protection Gateway encrypts or tokenizes sensitive fields before they reach SaaS applications, using FIPS 140-3-validated methods. The Identity Gateway authenticates and authorizes users and systems. The API Gateway extends encryption, tokenization, and access policies to custom applications, data pipelines, and integrations. A centralized control plane manages policies, access rules, and audit logs. Listed SaaS integrations include Plex, Salesforce, NetSuite, Jira, and Confluence, alongside SSO identity providers, HSM vaults, and SIEM systems. Gateways can run on-premises, behind a corporate firewall, or in private, Government, or Sovereign Cloud environments. Remote users need no endpoint configuration. High-availability deployment supports redundancy, scaling, and load balancers. Cloud Compliance Manager reports on HIPAA, GDPR, ITAR, CMMC, and NIST 800-53 and 171. Pricing is on request.
