In their own words
Skyflow
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.
