DataStealth Cloud Deployment is a data protection solution designed to run inside customer-owned AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts. It provides tokenization, masking, and encryption of sensitive data at the point of ingestion, before data reaches databases or downstream services. The solution deploys within the customer's own VPC or VNet, supporting VMs, containers, and Kubernetes. It extends to edge and serverless workloads via lightweight workers and integrates into API gateways and service meshes. Key protection capabilities include: - Format-preserving tokenization and dynamic data masking with role-based visibility controls - Field-level encryption before storage in managed databases and data warehouses - Sensitive data discovery and classification across ETL pipelines, streaming jobs, and object stores - Secrets scrubbing from logs, traces, and error payloads Key management is handled by the customer, with support for AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, GCP KMS, and on-premises HSMs. Both BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) and HYOK (Hold Your Own Key) models are supported. The architecture uses stateless brokers and autoscaling workers for performance, multi-AZ clustering for availability, and policy-as-code for governance with versioning, approval gates, and rollback. Attribute-based access controls determine who can view cleartext data. The product targets compliance use cases including PCI DSS and data residency requirements by keeping protected data within specified cloud regions and reducing database scope.
