Industry

Public Sector

Keep productivity suites and cloud programmes usable while keys for sensitive and confidential data stay outside the provider.

Business stakes

Challenges leaders recognise

Public bodies still need Microsoft 365 and major cloud platforms. The decision criterion is custody: if the provider can technically operate the decryption keys, protection is insufficient for sensitive personal data or data under a legal duty of confidentiality. DuoKey supplies external key services for Double Key Encryption and related customer-key paths so administrations keep suite usability while the decisive key stays outside the provider.

Provider-accessible keys are no longer enough

Guidance for sensitive and legally confidential data increasingly requires that the cloud operator cannot decrypt alone.

Residency is not custody

Hosting in-country or in an EU data boundary does not remove extraterritorial access risk when the operator can still use the keys.

Mixed sensitivity in one tenant

Not every mailbox needs the same control. Programmes need labelled DKE for high-sensitivity content and clearer Customer Key governance for broader service encryption.

Audit and accountability

Supervisors and data-protection officers ask who can unlock content, under which policy, with which evidence, not only whether encryption is enabled.
