If someone has control of the application, aren't all bets off at that point?

At some point, your application has to decrypt the data to work with it. The person with control of the application would exfiltrate data that way.

This is mostly true, but even if somebody manages to get access to an application runtime there won't be a major data leakage issue using Evervault because all data has been encrypted using a key that our customers don't host.

All plaintext data processing happens on Evervault's infrastructure, so our customers don't have any runtimes that handle sensitive data in plaintext.

Great point, but not necessarily. This is what we are trying to solve with Redact. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on our solution: https://redact.ws
