01
Public sector and regulated enterprises
Sensitive or confidential data in Microsoft 365 and hyperscale cloud where provider-accessible keys are insufficient.
Who it is for
Programmes that cannot treat residency as custody
For organisations that must show the cloud or SaaS operator cannot decrypt alone.
02
Multi-cloud architecture teams
Need one custody model across AWS, Microsoft 365 and secrets platforms—not a different story per vendor.
03
Compliance and data-protection officers
Need evidence of who can unlock data under GDPR, FADP, DORA and related frameworks.
External keys
Cryptographic operations for protected workloads run outside the cloud operator trust boundary
Same platforms
Keep AWS, Microsoft 365 and OpenBAO usable while custody moves
Audit path
Named authority over key use for supervisors and internal audit
Residency is not custody
Hosting in a preferred region or data boundary helps with residency. It does not by itself remove provider access to keys. Sovereignty programmes fail the practical test when the operator can still decrypt.
DuoKey focuses on customer-controlled keys for the platforms you already run: Microsoft 365 (DKE and Customer Key), AWS External Key Store, and OpenBAO with DuoKey SD-HSM.
How it works
External key paths on the stack you already use
Apply custody where the data lives. Do not rip out the productivity or cloud platforms the business depends on.
Microsoft 365
DKE for high-sensitivity content; Customer Key for stronger service encryption under your authority.
AWS XKS
Keep KMS APIs in applications while cryptographic operations run in an external key store.
OpenBAO + SD-HSM
Vault-compatible secrets management with MPC auto-unseal under your authority.
What changes
Outcomes for sovereignty programmes—not generic cloud security.
Control that survives the operator
Demonstrate that a provider channel does not automatically yield plaintext.
Consistent custody story
One model across SaaS and IaaS instead of fragmented BYOK exceptions.
Cloud without surrendering unlock authority
Keep using major clouds while keys stay outside their sole control.
Next step
Still weighing the control model?
Bring the constraint. We’ll map the shortest practical path.
