AI is quietly creating copies of your most sensitive data everywhere: in embeddings, vector databases, search indexes, prompts, logs, and cloud infrastructure. Worse, those copies aren't anonymized. Vector embeddings can be inverted back to the original text and images they came from. IronCore Labs keeps that data encrypted and controlled without breaking its utility. Our platform encrypts sensitive data at the application layer, which means the data is protected even on running servers. Most data encryption only protects the data when it’s offline. → Cloaked AI encrypts vector embeddings while keeping them fully usable for semantic search, RAG, recommendations, clustering, and classification. The first commercial vector encryption product. → SaaS Shield helps SaaS companies win and expand security and privacy-conscious deals with per-tenant encryption, BYOK/HYOK, streaming audit trails, and crypto-agility. No in-house cryptography team required. → Cloaked Search turns Elasticsearch and OpenSearch into privacy-preserving indices: fully queryable, but the search service never sees your plaintext. → VectorLens (free to try) scans your vector embeddings and shows you the PII hiding inside them. Named a Gartner Cool Vendor. Open source SDKs, SOC 2 Type 2, and a decade of application-layer encryption behind us. Encrypt the data your AI and SaaS products can't afford to expose.
