IronCore Labs SaaS Shield vs Skyflow

IronCore Labs SaaS Shield adds application-layer encryption, data controls, and access visibility to cloud applications, including multi-tenant SaaS products. It uses a separate encryption key for each tenant to help protect data held in shared storage, and deterministic encryption enables exact-match searches over encrypted data. Customers can retain control of their keys, with support for customer-managed configurations and integrations with Thales CipherTrust Manager, Google Cloud Key Management Service, AWS Key Management Service, and Microsoft Azure Key Vault. The Tenant Security Proxy runs as a Docker container in customer infrastructure, and encryption can be connected through proxies or SDKs. Listed storage and search proxies cover Amazon S3, OpenSearch, and Elasticsearch. SaaS Shield supports rotation and re-keying of keys, changes to algorithms and key sizes, and separating key storage from data across cloud providers. The maker describes a design that keeps sensitive data and keys from its view. A free trial covers one tenant; Pro starts at $1,954/mo (annual) plus $25 per tenant for up to 100 tenants. There is no free plan.

Skyflow is an API-based Data Privacy Vault service for companies that handle financial, healthcare and other personal data. It uses tokenization, encryption and masking to protect sensitive information while keeping it usable. Supported data includes personal, payment, health and other sensitive information in structured and unstructured forms. Access controls can be based on policies, roles or attributes, with tracking and audits. Skyflow Connections handle inbound and outbound flows between a vault and client, backend or third-party services. Listed integrations include Snowflake, Databricks, MongoDB, MuleSoft, Boomi, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Adyen, Plaid and Yodlee. Deployment options include multi-tenant SaaS, dedicated VPC, Bring Your Own Cloud and hybrid architectures privately connected to on-premises systems. Skyflow lists ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS Level 1 certifications, and says it is GDPR compliant and HIPAA assessed and eligible. Pricing is custom and depends on platform fees, data-subject counts, localization regions and feature requirements. A trial is available for exploration, not development; production access follows sandbox development and a security review.
