Key Management Service (KMS)
A service that creates, stores, and controls cryptographic keys - so an organization holds the keys that protect its own data, separate from the software that uses them.
A Key Management Service (KMS) generates, stores, rotates, and governs access to cryptographic keys, often backed by hardware security modules. It centralizes key custody so that encryption keys, signing keys, and the secrets that protect data are managed and audited in one controlled place rather than scattered through applications.
Customer-held keys are a cornerstone of a defensible deployment: when encryption keys, model credentials, and TLS private keys live in your own KMS or vault, the software that uses them cannot decrypt or exfiltrate what it never holds. DataStrict is built to run against keys you control, so key custody stays with you and the governed data and its audit evidence remain yours.
