Complete Audit Trail

Built in logging allows administrators to track all key retrieval, key management, and system activity. Reports can be sent automatically to central log management, alerting facilities, or SIEM products for a timely and permanent record of activity.

Key Access Control Addresses PCI-DSS Requirements

Encryption keys can be restricted based on several criteria. The most permissive level requires a secure and authenticated SSL/TLS session to the key server. Individual encryption keys can be restricted to users, groups, or specific users in groups. Enterprise-wide groups can be defined and keys can be restricted to Enterprise users, groups, or specific users in groups.
