Questions & Answers

Learn more about Piiano Vault

Where does the Piiano Vault run?

Piiano Vault is a SaaS based solution for simplicity. But for those who want to fully be in charge, it can also run as a self-hosted solution, that operates within your cloud environment, becoming an integral part of your backend system.

Does Piiano Vault augment existing databases and plugs transparently into my architecture?

No, Piiano Vault is a standalone cloud-native secure data storage solution, designed for developers. It is equipped with its own CRUD APIs, security and privacy features, and designed to ensure the utmost security of your data.

What’s the difference between Piiano Vault and Hashicorp Vault?

Hashicorp Vault is specifically designed to protect secrets of the production environment, utilizing a key-value store. It caters to the needs of DevOps teams. On the other hand, Piiano Vault is purpose-built to safeguard customer personal data in production, employing a full object store and comprehensive privacy compliance functionality. It is designed for application developers.

Does Piiano have access to stored data?

Absolutely not. Our design ensures that you are the sole owner of your data and we don’t have any access to it in any way.

What information does the self-hosted Piiano Vault transmit externally?

Piiano Vault only transmits metrics and diagnostic information, never including your actual data. This information is utilized for proactive monitoring of our customers' vaults to ensure optimal performance. It is important to note that this feature is optional and can be disabled as per your preference.

Who manages Piiano Vault?

For the SaaS based solution, we do it for you. As for the self-hosted version, running in your own cloud environment, you’re responsible to manage and operationalize it. We support many ways to deploy it such as ECS/AppRunner/CloudRunner and EKS/GKE, and we guide our customers.

How do we regularly update the self-hosted Piiano Vault?

We regularly update our product, similar to any software server, it is available for download on our website. The use of containers makes the process of updating Piiano Vault in production simple and straightforward.

How do I back up Piiano Vault?

For the SaaS based solution, we do it for you. As for the self-hosted version, it relies on a Postgres-compatible SQL server, such as RDS, Aurora, Cloud SQL, and similar services. As the database runs within your cloud environment, you have complete access to it, including the responsibility for operating your own backups. Learn more here.

Who is responsible for backing up the encryption keys and what is the recommended method for doing so?

Piiano Vault uses a KMS to hold the key-encryption key (KEK), which should be included in your KMS backup process. The data-encryption keys (DEK) are stored securely alongside the data in the database. As long as you back up the database, you will have the necessary DEKs.

Does Piiano Vault support high availability?

Yes, Piiano Vault operates using containers, which enables automatic scaling to meet demand. Additionally, the cloud provided SQL databases (like RDS) can be configured and leveraged to support the same scalability requirements.

Which encryption algorithms does Piiano Vault utilize?

The data in Piiano Vault is encrypted using AES 256 symmetric encryption. For the encryption implementation, we utilize the Google Tink open-source library, which provides robust and secure encryption capabilities.

Does Piiano Vault support PCI-DSS?

Only the self-hosted version can be used to securely store credit card numbers directly as a PCI zone. It incorporates tokenization functionality specifically designed for this use case. Piiano Vault has successfully undergone external audits with our customers, ensuring its compliance. For more information about this specific use case, you can refer to our provided documentation here. Should you require additional materials for your auditor, we will gladly supply them once we start collaborating.

Does Piiano Vault assist in expediting the implementation of GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and other privacy compliance requirements?

Yes, Piiano Vault provides specific functionality to address privacy compliance regulation requirements, including features such as handling data subject access requests (DSAR), implementing the right to be forgotten (RTBF), automatic data deletion, and more. You can refer to our compliance documentation page here for detailed information on how Piiano Vault supports these requirements.
