Skyflow Data Privacy Vault

Skyflow, Inc. is a data privacy company founded in 2019 and headquartered at 195 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California, led by co-founder and CEO Anshu Sharma. It addresses the problem of sensitive customer data such as personal, health and payment information being copied across many applications, analytics stores and now AI systems, which widens the attack surface and complicates compliance.

The Skyflow Data Privacy Vault isolates sensitive data in a separate vault accessed through APIs, using a zero-trust architecture, polymorphic encryption and fine-grained, dynamic access controls so that downstream systems hold tokens or de-identified values instead of raw data. Offerings include vaults for PII, healthcare and payments, data residency, an LLM gateway that de-identifies prompts and training data, controls for AI agents, and runtime data control for enterprise AI search. Named customers include ServiceNow, Kearney, GoodRx, Nomi Health and Scalapay.

• Data privacy vault: Isolates PII, PHI and card data behind APIs with zero-trust architecture.
• Polymorphic encryption and tokenization: Lets systems work with protected values instead of raw data.
• Dynamic access control: Fine-grained policies decide who or what can see each field at runtime.
• LLM gateway: De-identifies prompts and training data before they reach AI models.
• Agents and AI security: Governs sensitive data in agent-to-agent flows and enterprise AI search.
• Data residency: Keeps regulated data in specific countries while applications run globally.

A Vietnamese fintech or e-wallet can vault citizen ID and card data so its apps and analytics only handle tokens. A hospital chain or health app can share de-identified patient data with analytics and AI teams. A company building an internal AI assistant can strip personal data from prompts and search results before they reach the model.

Sensitive data is stored once in an isolated vault, so a breach of an application or analytics store exposes only tokens. Teams can keep using data for analytics and AI because de-identified values preserve referential integrity. Data residency vaults help keep citizens' data in required jurisdictions. Ready-made vaults for payments and healthcare reduce the effort of meeting PCI and HIPAA requirements.

Data localisation and personal data laws in Asia, including India's DPDP Act and Vietnam's Personal Data Protection Law, are tightening controls on where and how citizen data is stored. At the same time, enterprises are feeding customer data into generative AI, increasing demand for de-identification and runtime controls that keep sensitive data out of models.
