Cloud Data Protection Gateway

Compliance and security controls for your sensitive data.

The StratoKey Data Protection Gateway intercepts, encrypts, and tokenizes sensitive data before it reaches any cloud or SaaS environment, so you maintain control.

Compliance-Grade Data Protection Controls

Stratokey's Cloud Data Protection Gateway provides the controls for you to better meet your security and compliance requirements. 

Modern enterprise runs on SaaS. Your SaaS secures the infrastructure. Securing sensitive data and remaining compliant is your responsibility. StratoKey's pre-ingress encryption, tokenization and access controls help you meet a wider range of compliance requirements.

End-to-End Encryption for Your Sensitive Data

Native SaaS encryption often falls short. When the vendor manages the encryption, your data is exposed in plaintext on their infrastructure at some point. Encrypt data before it leaves your environment so it reaches your SaaS applications already protected.

Self-hosted Pre-Ingress Encryption System

The Data Protection Gateway runs in your environment and encrypts data before it reaches any SaaS platform. The provider receives ciphertext. Encryption and decryption never occur on their side.

Field-Level Encryption

Apply granular FIPS 140-3-validated encryption to standard and custom data fields within applications, enabling precise control over what data is protected while maintaining application functionality. 

  • Secure standard and custom fields.

  • NIST Standard FIPS 140-3 validated encryption libraries with 256bit key size.

File & Attachment Encryption

Protect file uploads, attachments and data loads with AES encryption utilizing 256bit keys.

  • Supports all file types.

  • Does not impact application performance.  

Customer-Controlled Key Management

Retain ownership of encryption keys and rotation policies, ensuring sovereignty and compliance without exposing keys to your SaaS vendor. 

  • Supports BYOK, HYOK & CMEK systems.

  • Can be used with supported HSMs or a standard FIPS-mode encrypted keystore.
  • Absolute encryption key privacy.

CDP-Gateway-Selective-encryption(1)

Selective Encryption

Encrypt data based on classification. Using a mixed model of encryption helps preserve application functionality whilst providing a significant increase in data security.

Searchable Encryption

Use search on encrypted data and retain of application functionality.

  • Secure fields while keeping your applications functional.

Tokenization to Keep Sensitive Data Within Your Control Boundary

Tokenize data before it is transmitted to your SaaS applications. Your SaaS runs as usual with tokens while you maintain sovereign control over sensitive data.

Field-Level Tokenization

Replace sensitive data fields with format-consistent tokens in real-time while preserving application workflows and usability.

Secure Tokens

Tokens have no exploitable value if exposed. Unlike encryption, tokens do not contain the original data. This greatly reduces breach impact and lowering compliance scope (e.g., ITAR and CMMC).

Data Residency and Sovereignty

Keep original sensitive data securely within your environment or a compliant vault, supporting data residency and data sovereignty laws.

De-scope Third-Party Apps from Compliance

Tokens stored in apps instead of the sensitive data helps reduce compliance scope. 

Access Controls

Manage who can and cannot access encrypted or tokenized fields. Authenticate users through the embedded Identity Gateway and apply granular rules and policies.

  • Access Control
  • User Management and Authentication
  • Rules & Policies
  • Access Control

    Control access to your sensitive and regulated data, even when it is used in third-party SaaS and cloud environments. You decide who can access specific data fields, under what conditions, and when, ensuring only authorized users and systems can view or process protected data.

  • User Management and Authentication

    Control the authentication process through the CDP gateway. Integrate with your SSO Identity Providers (SAML and OIDC) , whilst maintaining full control.

    CDP-gateway-Authentication(1)

  • Rules & Policies

    Define and enforce granular, policy-based controls over how sensitive data is accessed, protected, and used across your cloud applications. Group security policies can be enacted by connecting to your identity management system.

    Set rules to block, lock or notify based on security rules.

Data Governance and Visibility 

Gain visibility through analytics, detailed audit logs and security intelligence, all accessible in an intuitive user interface. This allows your team to track data access and activity across your cloud applications, supporting compliance reporting and enabling rapid detection of unusual behavior.

Cloud visibility with the CDP Platform

Real-time Analytics

Get a real-time data surfaced to the CDP Platform interface. Visualize and monitor users access to specific applications and understand and detect threats and anomalies.

Detailed Audit Logs

Logs are generated for every user interaction with the gateway. This logging forms the basis for a complete audit trail of user interactions including, user encryption and decryption of individual fields and files, access times, devices, and locations.

Security Intelligence

Intelligence features, presents trends, threats, and activities within your cloud and SaaS applications at application, group and user levels. Intelligence data points can be used to understand unusual behavior and and enact pre-set rules and policy actions.

REST APIs

StratoKey’s REST API allows you to extend the CDP Gateway's encryption and tokenization controls directly into your custom workflows, applications, and integrations. 

  • The REST API uses OAuth for secure, flexible integration with your workflows.
  • Encryption and tokenization operations align seamlessly with your policies and keys.
  • Granular access controls restrict who can perform sensitive operations.
  • Built-in firewall protects against unauthorized API requests.
  • Comprehensive logging provides full visibility for auditing and compliance.

Cloud Data Protection Gateway FAQs

What does the StratoKey Cloud Data Protection Gateway do?

What does the StratoKey Cloud Data Protection Gateway do?

It encrypts and tokenizes sensitive data before it reaches any cloud or SaaS application. It operates as a transparent gateway in your environment, so data is protected before it leaves your control. 

How is the Data Protection Gateway different from a CASB?

How is the Data Protection Gateway different from a CASB?

A CASB monitors and controls access to cloud services. The Data Protection Gateway does that AND protects the data itself through encryption and tokenization. It operates at the field level.

Does the Data Protection Gateway work with any application?

Does the Data Protection Gateway work with any application?

It supports a wide range of SaaS and cloud applications, including Salesforce, Plex, NetSuite, Jira, Confluence, ServiceNow, and SAP. It can also be deployed in an application-agnostic configuration for custom or proprietary systems. 

How does it help with compliance?

How does it help with compliance?

The CDP Gateway helps organizations mitigate risks and meet compliance. For some organizations, the Gateway is a crucial piece in making systems compliant. This is achieved through in-line encryption (FIPS 140-3 validated), tokenization (local data storage), audit logging, data residency enforcement, and data leak prevention which aligns with CMMC, ITAR, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST 800-171 and 800-53, and other frameworks.

Can it control what AI accesses?

Can it control what AI accesses?

Yes. Because data is encrypted or tokenized before it reaches SaaS platforms, AI tools and integrations operating within those platforms cannot access plaintext.
