Compliance Whitepaper
How can I meet PCI DSS compliance with key management?
Whether you’re operating in a highly regulated environment or within self-regulated industries, encryption key management solutions are crucial to safe and secure business operations.
Less-regulated industries are encountering key management for the first time, adopting technologies and practices to provide protection in an increasingly digital world. But many find this process complex and difficult to manage. We make it easy, safe, and affordable for you to embed industry-leading data security into your organization.
Meanwhile, highly regulated organizations that are used to meeting stricter compliance requirements now face growing challenges of scale:
- Costs of HSMs are high
- Utilization is low
- Integrations can be difficult
As the volume of keys increases, organizations are finding it harder to ensure certification and prove compliance with security standards.
That’s why our security and cryptography masters created CrystalKey 360...
An encryption key management software for all organizations needing to manage keys and demonstrate security compliance. CrystalKey 360 makes data security easy to use and empowers you to keep pace with regulation, cyberthreats and computational and algorithmic advances including quantum computing.

ARE YOU ENCOUNTERING KEY MANAGEMENT AND REGULATION FOR THE FIRST TIME?
Cryptographic keys are crucial for protecting everything from card payments to cloud services.
These keys are random strings of hundreds or thousands of ones and zeroes that protect digital applications. They come in various options depending on functionality, resources, desired performance, or security level and are essential in providing strong encryption, authentication, integrity, and access control.
For example, there are:
- Symmetric keys: where both parties share a common key, secret to everyone else.
- Asymmetric keys: paired keys, where one is secret (known only to a single entity or user) and one is public.
Given the complexity and variety of cryptographic keys and how important they are for protecting high-value and sensitive data and communications, it is crucial that they are well managed. Poor key management will leave you vulnerable to criminality or loss of business, and exposed to regulators.

SECURELY CREATE, STORE, REFRESH, AND DESTROY CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEYS AT SCALE
We understand the challenge of managing cryptographic keys today, particularly for growing businesses in highly regulated industries, such as financial institutions or automotives.
Overseeing the entire lifecycle of hundreds, thousands, or even millions of cryptographic keys is a complex task. The fallout from mismanagement can be catastrophic, from data loss to disruption of business operations and irreparable damage to an organization’s reputation.
That’s why governments, banks, and businesses worldwide trust Cryptomathic to empower them with the right keys, in the right place, at the right time.
CrystalKey 360 puts you firmly in command with a single, centralized, and automated key management system. It provides you with the freedom to keep key management on-premise, while enabling cryptography services in your private, public or hybrid cloud
FUTUREPROOFING FOR THE POST QUANTUM WORLD
Today, you not only need the right data security solution in place, but you must ensure it is crypto-agile. Cryptographic algorithms will need to be replaced or enhanced by soon-to-be-standardized quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms.
Organizations must therefore be able to change cryptographic parameters or switch entire cryptographic algorithms. Cryptography-as-a-Service – which has the ability to change cryptographic algorithms and keys without changing the applications at the code level – enables resistance to new risks like quantum computing, without causing business disruption.
Cryptomathic’s CrystalKey 360 platform provides a single space to manage and address all security decisions related to cryptographic keys – including multi-cloud setups – to help all kinds of organizations speed up deployment, deliver speed and agility, and minimize the costs of compliance and key management.
A BUYERS GUIDE TO SELECTING A KEY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A Key Management Platform is the backbone function of a mature security and compliance setup.
However, the scope of such a platform can vary a lot. This can add a costly, and potentially disruptive nature to the decision of implementing or replacing a key management system. Therefore, you want to ask the right questions to any potential suppliers!
In this guide, you will find a list of fitting questions to ask. One list is designed to vet the supplier, and another to qualify the product.
All questions are defined as yes/no questions, and you are looking for ‘Yes’s’!
This is a list of general questions and may vary slightly depending on the use case, however, keep in mind that a vendor who ticks all these boxes will have the tools to help future proof your operations and help your business scale in the long run.
