Encryption at rest and key management

Sensitive data is encrypted or otherwise rendered unreadable where stored, with managed cryptographic keys.

Evidence auditors usually ask for

A typical starting list. Your assessor's request list is the one that counts.

  • Cryptography / key management policy
  • Configuration evidence of encryption on databases, storage and backups
  • Key management procedures: generation, rotation, storage, retirement
  • Inventory of where sensitive data is stored and the protection method for each
