More data, more risk

The amount of data being collected is booming, but that means new threats are rising as well. Unique challenges facing enterprises today include: 

  • Sensitive data susceptibility, such as confidential info accidentally falling into the wrong hands
  • Malicious activities, such as insider threats and data theft
  • Industry and regulatory requirements that call for increased data protection and controls

How BYOK Works

 

1. Generate

Your organization generates a 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) key with 32 bytes of key material.

 

2. Upload

Your key is uploaded to the Workiva Organization Security Administration Portal, where your Org Security Admins will create and manage the key.

 

3. Deliver

Your key is delivered to the Workiva Key Service, hashed with a secure algorithm (SHA-256), and a new Amazon KMS Customer Master Key is created and uploaded.

 

4. Manage

The key is ready for use, your data is encrypted, and your Org Security Admin is able to use our security portal to manage and revoke the key as needed.
