Where independent key control fits
Use the CBUAE Rulebook for operative wording. Product evidence below covers the cryptography and outsourcing angles that typically drive a KMS purchase.
Cryptography and key management
Approved solutions as an enforced catalogue, lifecycle as enforced key states, custody backend visible per key in inventory.
Cryptographic modules
HSM-backed or MPC custody where module assurance is required; software vault where the risk assessment allows it. Document the choice per vault.
Outsourcing of key services
Managed service vs on-premise split agreed in writing. Customer retains policy ownership and SIEM receipt of key events.
Access control and audit
MFA for privileged access, leaf-level permissions, JIT elevation, and hash-chained audit trail forwarded to the institution SIEM.
