Baffle Data Protection
Baffle Data Protection protects sensitive data moving through pipelines for analytics, applications, and AI.
What Baffle Data Protection is
Baffle Data Protection protects sensitive data moving through pipelines for analytics, applications, and AI. It masks, tokenizes, and encrypts data, while supporting search, sorting, and mathematical or analytical operations on encrypted data without specialized hardware. Role-based policies can control use by individual users or groups, down to field, row, column, or logical database level. Bring Your Own Key support lets tenants control data keys at row or logical database level. Baffle can run on-premises or in a customer’s VPC without internet access or call-home telemetry, and says deployment needs no application code changes. Listed integrations span AWS, Azure, IBM Cloud, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Redshift, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB, with several key-management and HSM options. The paid product is available through API and self-hosted deployment. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial; the early access cloud data masking trial has specific AWS and PostgreSQL requirements.
