The spark
Conversations about rising cyber threats and the future of encryption led to a simple observation: key-based encryption had become a hidden weak point. The goal became data protection that is lighter, smarter and ready for what comes next.
About Cipherion
Encryption, key management and AI privacy that protect sensitive data before it reaches databases, team chats or AI models.
Cipherion is a unified data security platform. It encrypts sensitive data where it is created and keeps it protected wherever it goes: into your database, across the apps your team uses and into the prompts you send to AI models. Teams in healthcare, fintech, manufacturing and AI use it to meet strict privacy requirements without rebuilding their systems.
Our mission is to redefine data security with zero-trust, quantum-resilient encryption that is ready for compliance at scale, protecting data fields, transactions and access points without locking you in.
Zero-trust encryption, with post-quantum protection for the keys, built to hold up against the threats of today and the ones still coming.
Architected to support GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS and DPDP compliance, so the same protection travels with your data across regions and vendors.
No user, service, network or device is trusted by default. Every request to read protected data is verified.
Protection fits the databases, apps and tools you already run, through SDKs, APIs and the browser.
Proven cryptography such as AES-256-GCM, with keys protected by post-quantum algorithms in VOID KMS.
Customer data is never logged in plaintext and never used to train AI models.
Cipherion grew out of one question: why does protecting sensitive data still depend on keys that can be stolen?
2024
Conversations about rising cyber threats and the future of encryption led to a simple observation: key-based encryption had become a hidden weak point. The goal became data protection that is lighter, smarter and ready for what comes next.
2024
What began as a college mini project explored keyless encryption. The prototype showed that sensitive data could be secured without storing encryption keys beside it.

The idea won the Smart India Hackathon 2024 (Software Edition) and was proposed to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for infrastructure-level data security.
Early 2025
Early collaborations and interest from fintech, healthcare and manufacturing teams turned a promising prototype into a focused venture, shaped by real data and real compliance needs.
Mid 2025
Cipherion Pvt. Ltd. launched with a zero-trust architecture designed for modern compliance requirements and the risks of the quantum era.

Cipherion began its incubation at IIIT Dharwad Research Park, gaining infrastructure, research collaboration and mentorship.

Named one of the top three fund-ready startups among the 52 ventures that pitched at HDB Blue 2025, and recognised on stage at the Hubballi-Dharwad-Belagavi Techcelebration in Belagavi.

Cipherion was selected for the first cohort of AVINYA, ACSEL Technology Forum's founder-first accelerator for early-stage AI startups. After 120 days of building with mentors, we presented at Demo Day on how enterprises can secure their data in an AI-first world.

After completing the first cohort of the AVINYA Accelerator, Cipherion was selected as one of ACSEL Technology Forum's first two portfolio companies, backed by a ₹1 crore investment. Our mentor through the programme was Anand Talwai.
Today
EnQrypt, CipSec and ZentriQ protect sensitive data in applications, in the tools teams share it through and in the prompts sent to AI models. Each week the team also breaks down a real-world breach in its Trustless Tuesday and Freaky Friday case files on LinkedIn.
