Skyflow sells a data privacy vault that stores, tokenizes, and governs sensitive data through an API, and a line that keeps it out of large language models. The vault software is the copyable part. Harder to copy is that Skyflow holds the actual regulated data: it is PCI DSS Level 1 certified and a registered service provider with Mastercard and Visa, so a customer routing card or health data through it cuts its own compliance burden. Leaving means re-homing and re-identifying live data across every system that references it, not uninstalling a scanner. The tradeoff is reach: it protects only the data teams route in, ceding whole-estate coverage to discovery platforms. Its growth figures are self-reported, so the dependable proof is its named regulated customers and certifications.
