customer controlled keys

The customer controlled keys tag on WindowsForum covers discussions about Microsoft's sovereign cloud offerings, particularly in Switzerland, where customers retain cryptographic control over their data. Topics include in-country infrastructure, customer-managed encryption keys, human-in-the-loop access approvals, and legal commitments to resist geopolitical data requests. These threads explore how organizations can maintain data sovereignty through customer controlled keys, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information. The tag is relevant for IT professionals and compliance officers evaluating cloud solutions that require strict data residency and access controls.
