Meet Piiano

Piiano is a team of highly skilled software security and engineering professionals who believe that data security should be built during the development process, not treated as an afterthought.

We're passionate about building security infrastructure that is as unbreakable as it is practical. With decades of experience spanning military and private sectors, our approach combines deep technical expertise with real-world insight.

Our goal is to empower developers and security leaders with ready-to-use tools designed to keep sensitive data fully protected, today and into the future.

Problems we solve

Data theft and the lack of secure databases

Market Problems

Great data security for cloud applications is a never ending challenge against the rising cyber threats.

The technology complexity and diversity are so high, the R&D velocity is even higher, and there's still no infrastructure to protect customers' data.

Privacy regulations keep on evolving around the world and are hard to implement.

Customer trust is hard to gain, let alone keeping their privacy and confidentiality.

Solution

Build secure applications by utilizing our powerful APIs designed for backend and application developers. Only they can secure the data by design.

Standardize encryption and tokenization through the R&D teams to get centralized management and controls over sensitive data wherever it may be.

Get privacy controls out of the box by using our infrastructure. We will make sure it's futureproof.

Accelerate your data protection program and use bulletproof security infrastructure to save your customers.

Our founders
