Fortanix for Microsoft Azure
Overview
Microsoft Azure is the platform of choice for enterprises operating at a global scale, offering infrastructure and regional presence to support demanding workloads. However, for organizations operating under data sovereignty mandates, including GDPR, Schrems II, and NIS2, managing encryption keys independently of Azure infrastructure and beyond the reach of any cloud provider is a fundamental compliance and sovereign requirement.
Fortanix Solution
Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM), a next-generation Hardware Security Module with built-in Key Management, integrates directly with Microsoft Azure Key Vault Managed HSM as an external key manager, enabling organizations to store and control encryption keys entirely outside of Azure infrastructure. Enterprises have full control over the full key lifecycle management, along with detailed audit logging of all key operations, providing the cryptographic governance and evidentiary trail required by the most demanding regulatory frameworks.
DSM’s software-defined architecture gives enterprises the needed agility to adopt the latest NIST-recommended Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms as they emerge, without redefining architectures or schemas.
