Databunker is a self-hosted, GDPR compliant, Go-based tool for secure personal records tokenization and storage - PII/PHI/KYC: https://databunker.org/

Traditional database encryption solutions often provide a false sense of security. While they may encrypt data at rest, they leave critical vulnerabilities:

• Encryption alone isn’t enough: Most vendors offer only disk-block encryption, ignoring API-level encryption
• Vulnerable GraphQL Queries: Unfiltered queries can expose unencrypted data to attackers
• SQL Injection Risks: Attackers can retrieve plaintext data through SQL injections

Databunker addresses these gaps with a secure, developer-focused solution for personal data tokenization and storage.

• Tokenization Engine: Generates UUID tokens for safe data referencing in applications
• Encrypted Storage: Secures sensitive records with advanced encryption layer
• Injection Protection: Blocks SQL and GraphQL injection attacks by design
• Secure Indexing: Uses hash-based indexing for search queries
• No Plaintext Storage: Ensures all data is encrypted at rest
• Restricted Bulk Retrieval: Disabled by default to prevent data leaks
• API-Based Access: Integrates with your backend via a NoSQL-like API
• Fast Integration: Set up secure data protection in under 10 minutes

For credit-card tokenization or enterprise security features check out the Databunker Pro.

Databunker provides a robust, open-source vault that eliminates the false sense of security from traditional encryption methods, offering developers a practical way to protect sensitive data.

• Self-Hosted: Run on your cloud or on-premises infrastructure
• Open-Source: Licensed under MIT for free commercial use
• GDPR Compliant: Meets modern privacy regulation requirements
• High Performance: Go-powered API ensures fast tokenization and data access

1. Store sensitive data in Databunker via API calls
2. Receive UUID tokens to reference data securely in your application
3. Query data using secure, hash-based indexing
4. Benefit from built-in protections against injections and bulk data leaks

# Pull and run Databunker container
docker pull securitybunker/databunker
docker run -p 3000:3000 -d --rm --name dbunker securitybunker/databunker demo

# Create user records
curl -s http://localhost:3000/v1/user -X POST \
  -H "X-Bunker-Token: DEMO" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"first":"John","last":"Doe","login":"john","email":"[email protected]"}'

# Get user by login, email, phone, or token
curl -s -H "X-Bunker-Token: DEMO" -X GET http://localhost:3000/v1/user/login/john

# Admin UI: http://localhost:3000

const db = new Databunker({
  url: 'http://localhost:3000',
  token: 'DEMO'
});

// Store user record
await db.users.create({
  email: '[email protected]',
  name: 'John Doe',
  phone: '+1-415-555-0123'
});

// Retrieve user by email
const user = await db.users.findByEmail('[email protected]');
