Problem
Organizations face challenges in securing sensitive customer data within their applications, as traditional perimeter security measures often prove insufficient. Unencrypted data and inadequate access controls can leave customer information vulnerable to breaches, leading to compliance issues and potential data theft.
Solution
Piiano offers a privacy engineering infrastructure, centered around Piiano Vault, that enables developers to securely manage sensitive customer data through simple APIs. Piiano Vault allows developers to encrypt, tokenize, and control access to sensitive data, mitigating the risk of data exposure even in compromised environments. By embedding data protection directly into the application development lifecycle, Piiano streamlines security and compliance efforts, reducing the complexity and overhead associated with traditional data protection methods. The platform's zero-trust architecture ensures that data remains protected from build to runtime, regardless of the security of the surrounding infrastructure. Piiano Vault can be self-hosted or integrated as a SaaS solution, providing flexibility to meet different deployment needs.
Target Audience
