Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0 DP-6 Azure_Security_Benchmark_v3.0_DP-6 Microsoft cloud security benchmark DP-6 Data Protection DP-6 Use a secure key management process Shared **Security Principle:** Document and implement an enterprise cryptographic key management standard, processes, and procedures to control your key lifecycle. When there is a need to use customer-managed key in the services, use a secured key vault service for key generation, distribution, and storage. Rotate and revoke your keys based on the defined schedule and when there is a key retirement or compromise. **Azure Guidance:** Use Azure Key Vault to create and control your encryption keys life cycle, including key generation, distribution, and storage. Rotate and revoke your keys in Azure Key Vault and your service based on the defined schedule and when there is a key retirement or compromise. When there is a need to use customer-managed key (CMK) in the workload services or applications, ensure you follow the best practices: - Use a key hierarchy to generate a separate data encryption key (DEK) with your key encryption key (KEK) in your key vault. - Ensure keys are registered with Azure Key Vault and implement via key IDs in each service or application. If you need to bring your own key (BYOK) to the services (i.e., importing HSM-protected keys from your on-premises HSMs into Azure Key Vault), follow the recommended guideline to perform the key generation and key transfer. Note: Refer to the below for the FIPS 140-2 level for Azure Key Vault types and FIPS compliance level. - Software-protected keys in vaults (Premium & Standard SKUs): FIPS 140-2 Level 1 - HSM-protected keys in vaults (Premium SKU): FIPS 140-2 Level 2 - HSM-protected keys in Managed HSM: FIPS 140-2 Level 3 **Implementation and additional context:** Azure Key Vault overview: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/key-vault/general/overview Azure data encryption at rest--Key Hierarchy: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/security/fundamentals/encryption-atrest#key-hierarchy BYOK(Bring Your Own Key) specification: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/key-vault/keys/byok-specification n/a link 11
