Pioneering engineering infrastructure for developers to safeguard customers’ sensitive data and PII, preempt data breaches, and comply with privacy regulations
Piiano pioneers privacy engineering infrastructure for cloud-native applications. Its PII protection and management platform redefine how enterprises build and approach privacy by resolving the inherent risks of sensitive data handling.
Now enterprises can proactively manage and protect consumer data with the Piiano code scanner and PII Vault for streamlined PII visibility and segregation. Instantly gain the compliance, visibility and control your organization needs over this sensitive customer data.
We could only tolerate so many headlines about breaches and stolen records. Sharing our data is necessary and inevitable — the safety of our sensitive information should be, too. This is at the core of our mission to help companies re-establish trust and drive a new culture of privacy for the cloud era.
Our philosophy
We want to fundamentally redefine how personal information and user privacy are managed and secured. Piiano helps companies, of any size or stage, easily apply privacy by design for working with sensitive data. Embracing the shift left paradigm, we designed a dev-first product that also empowers CISOs and CPOs with the governance they need to keep sensitive data safe.
Security controls only partially protect our data. In practice, augmenting data with many security layers doesn’t solve the problem of data theft, security incidents and other threats. Establishing real consumer trust requires:
Shifting privacy left:
Making developers a key part of the privacy program by building in privacy requirements and discovering related issues pre-production.
Data pseudonymization:
Reducing the privacy risk of data-sets to zero by moving personal identifiers (PII) to a secure vault.
