Cloud Data Encryption Solution


Organizations in regulated industries, or where data privacy is a critical concern, should separate their encryption approach from the SaaS applications they rely on. StratoKey’s Cloud Data Protection Platform provides a comprehensive cloud data encryption gateway designed specifically for regulated and privacy-first environments.

StratoKey delivers strong privacy, auditability, and compliance for organizations that cannot compromise the security of their data.

  • Secure your data across any app with support across popular cloud apps NetSuite, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Confluence, Jira, ServiceNow and many more.
  • No software installation required on user devices, with support for both internal teams and remote users.
  • Field-level, end-to-end encryption and tokenization (local storage) for standard and custom fields.
  • Sensitive data is encrypted or tokenized before transmission to cloud applications.
  • Uses NIST-standard FIPS 140-2 / 140-3 validated encryption libraries with 256-bit key sizes.
  • Meets a wide range of compliance requirements for regulations including CMMC, ITAR, HIPAA, GDPR, etc.
  • Protects data in a privacy-first manner.

The Real Risks of Relying on Your SaaS Provider's Native Encryption

Most SaaS and cloud platforms offer only baseline encryption, designed for general data security, not for handling sensitive or regulated data. Relying solely on these built-in measures exposes organizations to serious privacy and compliance risks.

Sensitive data is exposed during the cryptographic process.

With most SaaS platforms, you don’t control the encryption keys.

Encryption is often limited to database encryption.

SaaS staff, AI and third parties may see plaintext regulated data.

Native encryption rarely meets ITAR, CMMC, NIST, HIPAA, or GDPR standards.

Multi-tenant SaaS runs data on shared infrastructure, which limits your control over residency, isolation, and access.

Encryption at Arm’s Length: Full Key Control, Compliance, and Flexible Protection

When sensitive workloads move into SaaS and cloud platforms, native encryption is not enough. Providers still manage the cryptographic process inside their own environment, which means plaintext data is exposed at some stage — even with BYOK, CMEK models.

StratoKey solves this with encryption at arm’s length. Operating as a gateway, StratoKey encrypts or tokenizes data before it enters the cloud, so plaintext never resides in the provider’s systems and compliance requirements are consistently met.


 

  • 1StratoKey encrypts or tokenizes data before it enters SaaS and cloud platforms, so plaintext never exists in the provider’s environment. Encryption keys remain entirely under your control (BYOK/HYOK), ensuring providers, staff, and third parties cannot access your regulated data.
  • 2The platform is built to meet strict compliance requirements including ITAR, CMMC, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP High, HIPAA, and GDPR. By applying FIPS 140-3 validated AES encryption and supporting tokenization with FedRAMP-authorized storage, StratoKey enables organizations to prove compliance and reduce audit risk.
  • 3StratoKey supports flexible encryption policies. This means fields, attachments, and files in SaaS apps like Jira, NetSuite, Salesforce and ServiceNow can be secured without disrupting workflows, reporting or integrations. Teams keep working as normal while sensitive data stays protected.

How StratoKey's Encyption Platform Secures Cloud Data

StratoKey operates as an encryption platform, securing data before it enters the cloud. The process is seamless for users and ensures sensitive information never appears in plaintext inside SaaS environments. No software is required on user devices, and StratoKey supports both internal and remote users.

Access through StratoKey Platform

StratoKey controls access to regulated data in SaaS applications including by users, integrations, and API requests.

Sensitive Data is Detected

The gateway automatically identifies fields, files, or records that contain sensitive or regulated data based on your configurations.

Sensitive Data is Secured within your Trusted Boundary

Data is encrypted or tokenized according to your policies, before it reaches the SaaS application.

StratoKey's Flexible Data Encryption Model

StratoKey’s flexible encryption model allows organizations to apply the right level of encryption where it’s needed most, balancing confidentiality, compliance, and usability without disrupting cloud workflows.

  • Align encryption to data sensitivity so highly confidential information receives maximum protection.
  • Apply encryption selectively to chosen fields, files, or zones, optimizing for security.
  • Automatically extract data classifications and enact encryption based upon classifications.
  • Maintain SaaS functionality with data protection that preserves search, reporting, and integrations.

Encryption Standards Utilized by the Cloud Data Protection Platform

StratoKey applies industry-recognized encryption standards, including FIPS 140-3 validated modules with AES, and TLS, to ensure sensitive data is secured to the highest compliance requirements.

 

High-Strength Encryption

StratoKey supports strong encryption standards such as AES, delivered through FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated cryptographic modules. This ensures sensitive data is protected to the highest industry and government security requirements.

Standards Compliance

StratoKey only operates in FIPS mode. This ensures that the cryptographic functions are secure and meet the appropriate requirements for protecting sensitive data.


Secure Communication (SSL/TLS)

All communication between users and StratoKey is protected with SSL/TLS, preventing interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. Sensitive data remains encrypted in transit, safeguarding interactions end-to-end.

Defense-in-Depth Cloud Data Protection

StratoKey delivers defense in depth with encryption, tokenization, customer-controlled keys, access controls, monitoring, and policy enforcement all in one platform. This layered approach keeps sensitive data secure, compliant, and protected at arm’s length.

Platform-Architected Security

Encryption / Tokenization, identity, and API controls layered together at the network edge for true protection at arm’s length.

end-to-end-encryption-grey

End-to-End Encryption & Tokenization

Sensitive fields and files are encrypted or tokenized before they reach SaaS or cloud apps.

encryption-keys-grey

Customer-Controlled Keys

BYOK/CMEK/HYOK ensures encryption keys never reside with the provider, removing third-party access risks.

access-grey

Granular Access Controls

Role-based policies, geofencing, and group rules enforce “least privilege” access to sensitive data.

monitoring-grey

Continuous Monitoring & Audit Trails

Real-time visibility into data usage with logs to support compliance requirements from CMMC, ITAR, HIPAA, and GDPR etc.

rules-grey

Rule & Policy Enforcement

Automated timeouts, revocations, and security rules add an extra layer of security beyond encryption.

Secure Your Data Across Apps End-to-End with Encryption

StratoKey protects sensitive information across any app, with specific support for Jira, Confluence, NetSuite, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and other leading SaaS platforms. Take full control of your data security and compliance, keep your information protected at arm’s length.
