HSM & CRYPTOGRAPHIC APPLIANCE SERVICES

HSM & CRYPTOGRAPHIC APPLIANCE SERVICES

End-to-end delivery and care for HSMs and crypto appliances.
We serve banks and payment processors, the public sector, global enterprises, and international organizations. Our lifecycle coverage includes solution selection, secure installation, key ceremonies, policy design, ongoing management, monitoring, and integration with your security stack.

On-Premises, Cloud, and Hybrid

  • On-Premises HSMs: Maximum control and physical security for regulated workloads. Deep integration with PKI, KMS, IAM, and application stacks; enforced dual control, split knowledge, and strong RBAC/governance.
  • Cloud HSMs: Expert deployment on AWS CloudHSM, Azure Key Vault Managed HSM, and Google Cloud HSM/EKM. We design secure key hierarchies, BYOK/HYOK, cross-cloud encryption, and resilient DR.
  • Hybrid: Unified key custody, policy, logging, and monitoring across on-prem and cloud, with consistent crypto controls wherever data lives.

Specialized HSM Solutions

  • Blockchain & Digital Asset Custody: Secure wallet key generation (secp256k1, Ed25519, etc.), policy-based and threshold/multi-sig signing, quorum approvals, high-throughput signing, and integration with custody stacks, MPC orchestration, and cold/warm/hot tiers.
  • Payments HSM (PCI): Card issuance/authorization, EMV, 3-D Secure, PIN translation, key exchange, TR-31/TR-34 key block enforcement, scheduled rotation, and operations aligned to PCI DSS & PCI PTS HSM for issuers, acquirers, and processors.
  • Symmetric Key Repositories & Service Wrappers: Centralized AES/3DES key estates with wrapping, versioning, provenance, rotation, and revocation. We build service layers/APIs for encryption, MAC, tokenization, and field-level protection across apps and data platforms.

Cryptographic Appliances We Support

Beyond HSMs, we deploy and support a broad range of crypto appliances and secure services from leading vendors, including:

  • Code signing/TSA/OCSP appliances (code signing CAs, timestamping, revocation).
  • Enterprise key managers & KMIP servers (central key custody, envelope encryption, tokenization).
  • Network/data encryptors (L2/L3, IPsec/MACsec, file/database/application encryption gateways).
  • SSH/TLS certificate authorities & secrets platforms (machine identity, secure automation).
  • Cloud HSM SaaS & dedicated partitions (HSM instances, DPoD-style services).

Managed Support Contracts (HSMs & Crypto Appliances)

Keep your crypto stack healthy and audit-ready with an SLA-backed service:

  • 24×7 or business-hours coverage, health monitoring, alerting, and incident response.
  • Firmware/patch management, CMVP tracking, FIPS-compliant configuration baselines.
  • Key ceremonies, rotation schedules, backup/restore, escrow, and break-glass runbooks.
  • HA/cluster design reviews, performance tuning, partitioning/tenanting, and capacity planning.
  • Audit packs: change records, access reviews, logs routed to SIEM, control attestations.
  • Vendor coordination & RMA, sparing strategies, and periodic security posture checks.

Migration to FIPS 140-3

A structured path from 140-2 to 140-3:

  • Readiness & Gap Assessment: Modules, algorithms, firmware, entropy/RNG, self-tests, roles/services, tamper controls.
  • Architecture & Roadmap: Map workloads to validated modules; phased cutovers with safe fallbacks.
  • Algorithm/Policy Modernization: De-risk deprecated ciphers; enforce key sizes/lifetimes; deterministic/ND RNG strategies; dual control & split knowledge.
  • Implementation & Cutover: Parallel deploy, provenance-preserving key re-wrap, deterministic validation testing.
  • Attestation & Documentation: CMVP mapping, SOPs, ceremony records, and auditor-ready evidence.

Compliance & Regulatory Alignment

  • FIPS 140-2 → 140-3, PCI DSS & PCI PTS HSM (TR-31 key blocks), GDPR, HIPAA, plus sector-specific mandates and internal standards.

Outcome: a secure, validated, and scalable cryptographic foundation—covering PKI, blockchain, payments, data protection, and modern app security—delivered with the governance and evidence your auditors expect.
