On-Premises and Cloud HSM Deployments

We are experts in deploying HSMs in both on-premises and cloud environments, ensuring that your encryption keys, cryptographic operations, and digital assets are protected to the highest standards. Whether you need an on-premises HSM solution to meet strict compliance regulations or a cloud-based solution for flexibility and scalability, we provide tailored implementations that meet your organization’s needs.

  • On-Premises HSMs: For organizations with stringent security and regulatory requirements, on-premises HSMs provide physical security and control over cryptographic keys and sensitive data. Our team is highly skilled in deploying and integrating HSMs within your existing infrastructure, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards such as FIPS 140-2, PCI-DSS, and GDPR.
  • Cloud HSMs: Cloud service providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud offer HSM services such as AWS Cloud HSM and Azure Key Vault Managed HSM, enabling organizations to manage encryption keys and perform cryptographic operations in the cloud. We assist in deploying and integrating cloud HSM services with your cloud-based infrastructure, ensuring secure key management and encryption across cloud platforms. Our experience with these services ensures that your business can leverage the scalability and flexibility of the cloud while maintaining a high level of security.
  • Hybrid HSM Solutions: Many organizations require both on-premises and cloud-based HSMs for a hybrid approach. We are experts in integrating on-premises HSMs with cloud HSM solutions, ensuring that key management and cryptographic operations remain secure regardless of where the data resides. This hybrid approach helps businesses ensure continuous compliance while benefiting from the scalability of the cloud.

Compliance and Regulatory Requirements

We understand the importance of compliance in industries that rely heavily on cryptographic security, including finance, healthcare, government, and other highly regulated sectors. Our consultancy ensures that your HSM deployment meets the necessary regulatory and compliance requirements, such as:

  • FIPS 140-2: A standard required for HSMs used in sensitive environments, including government and financial institutions.
  • PCI-DSS: Essential for organizations that handle credit card data, requiring secure key management and cryptographic operations.
  • GDPR: The European Union’s data protection regulation requires strict controls over data security, including encryption and key management for personal data.
  • HIPAA: Health insurance portability regulations require the protection of patient data through strong encryption and secure key management.

We ensure that your HSM deployment not only meets these standards but also adheres to any other regulatory frameworks relevant to your industry, providing you with a secure, compliant infrastructure for cryptographic operations.
