A GROWING CHALLENGE

It's never been more important to manage access to data

Organizations are collecting and storing more data than ever and face increasing pressure to generate value for their customers from that data. At the same time, regulations and evolving risks means that access to data must be granted more carefully.

In many organizations, access rights need to be configured by software engineers with expertise in PostgreSQL. Establishing complex rules is time consuming and complicated. The end result is that data is either shared too broadly or stakeholders face barriers to accessing the data they need.

POWERFUL FEATURES

Safely and efficiently work with sensitive data

GUI

With a simple GUI, team members in IT and compliance, can set permissions without needing to use a CLI or to make potentially risky changes against your database.

Create safe snapshots

Obfuscation allows you to easily and quickly create test databases that have the same schema and size as production but without the risk of leaking sensitive data.

Advanced controls

Hide or obfuscate data on a per-user basis. Control access to columns or rows and use intelligent filters for fine-grained control and flexibility.

Flexible deployment options

There is no need to install an extension on your database. The proxy server and admin interface can be hosted by us or you can install them on your own infrastructure.

USE CASES

Solve common problems

We want to use BI tools to analyze data in the production database but the process of gaining access is complicated and takes too long.

We have very little visibility into permissions granted directly inside PostgreSQL and we rely on software engineers to adjust permissions during dynamic situations.

The process of creating a snapshot that will behave similar to the production database but without sensitive data is time consuming and it's easy to forget to obfuscate a sensitive column.

OUR VISION

Simplified data access management

We founded VeilStream to help organizations extract more value from their data without compromising safety.  Complexity leads to inefficiencies, delays, and oversights. Our mission is to make it as easy as possible to manage safe and efficient access to data. We're starting with PostgreSQL because a very large portion of the world's valuable data is stored in PostgreSQL databases and it is increasingly the database of choice for software engineers that are building new products.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does VeilStream work?

VeilStream is a lightweight proxy server that acts as a filter in between the database and your users or applications. Each user account exists in the database but VeilStream ensures that no unauthorized data is accessed by the user. VeilStream can control access on a column or row basis with intelligent rules and can also obfuscate a variety of data types to anonymize data.

Do I need to install anything?

Our solution consists of two components; a lightweight proxy server and an administration interface. Our suggested deployment model is for you to install the proxy server on your server and to use our SaaS deployment of the administration interface. A Docker container is available to facilitate the installation of the proxy server. This hybrid deployment is the default model offered in our pricing plans. Please contact us if you would like us to host both software components or if you would like to host them both on your own servers.

Do I need to know how to use PostgreSQL?

At least one person in your organization will need to know how to use PostgreSQL to initially set up VeilStream and to create new user accounts. From that point forward, anyone in your organization can quickly learn how to use the GUI to set up advanced access controls. This is one of the primary benefits of using VeilStream.
