For Organizations Bound by GDPR, BSI C5 and NIS2

Encryption Key Management: Your Keys, Your Data, Your Control

You decide who can decrypt what, in every cloud, and can prove it to auditors, regulators and customers. BYOK, HYOK, HSM and cloud KMS, set up by a German Innovation Award winner.

What Weak Key Management Costs You

Whoever controls the keys controls the data. Weak or scattered key management exposes you to cyberattacks, insider misuse and fines.
You get end-to-end encryption for data in use, in transit and at rest, with central control of every key across cloud and hybrid environments. Compliance gets simpler, human error drops, and you keep full visibility.

How You Get Control in Five Steps

Discover

Know where your keys and risks are: data landscape, security gaps, compliance and governance requirements.

Design

A blueprint that fits your business: encryption architecture, key hierarchies and access policies.

Build

No more manual key handling: automated generation, rotation and encryption across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Validate

Proof it works before go-live: performance, policy enforcement, scalability and compliance readiness tested.

Decide

A clear basis for decisions: measured risk reduction and efficiency, plus a roadmap for company-wide encryption governance.

What You Get, Layer by Layer

Strategy: The Right Key Model for Your Data

  • Protect what matters most: encryption matched to data sensitivity, compliance and business goals.
  • One control point for all keys: centralized key management across cloud, hybrid and on-prem.
  • Works with what you have: your identity, access and governance frameworks.
  • You choose who holds the keys: BYOK, HYOK or HSM-backed custody, aligned with cloud KMS such as Azure Key Vault, AWS KMS and GCP Cloud KMS.

Key Lifecycle on Autopilot

  • No forgotten rotations: automated generation, rotation, distribution and retirement.
  • Fewer manual mistakes: policy-based automation handles the routine.
  • Fast answers in audits and incidents: full visibility and auditability.
  • No single insider can misuse keys: generation, approval and use are separated and documented.

Consistent Encryption, Ready for Post-Quantum

  • No weak spots between systems: one encryption policy for applications, databases and storage.
  • Free choice of standards: AES, RSA, ECC and quantum-safe algorithms.
  • No rebuild when algorithms change: crypto agility lets you swap algorithms and keys, ready for post-quantum methods.
  • Share data safely with business units, partners and cloud platforms.

Always Audit-Ready, Not Just on Audit Day

  • Misuse spotted early: real-time monitoring of key usage and anomalies.
  • Rule changes take effect at once: dynamic policies and access controls.
  • Lower fine risk: comply with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS and other data protection standards.
  • No liability surprises for management: key custody proven for BSI C5 and NIS2 with documented processes, audit trails and controlled emergency access.

What Changes for You

  • Data you can trust: end-to-end protection keeps data confidential and untampered.
  • Less risk: automated lifecycle management cuts human error and insider threats.
  • Faster audits: built-in audit trails shrink regulatory reporting effort.
  • Lower IT workload: unified automation removes complexity and manual steps.
  • Investment that lasts: scalable architecture ready for cloud, hybrid and post-quantum environments.
