Data Security: encryption, KMS & PKI

Protect sensitive data across its lifecycle through integrated data protection architectures

Thales designs and integrates encryption, KMS and PKI architectures to protect sensitive data across on-premise, cloud and hybrid environments.

Securing data through encryption and cryptographic control

Protect critical data with encryption, KMS and PKI across its full lifecycle.

Encryption

Encryption protects sensitive data from unauthorised access, even if systems are compromised. Thales designs encryption architectures for data at rest, in transit and in use across on-premise, cloud and hybrid environments.
Key management

Integrated KMS architectures enable secure key generation, storage, rotation and policy enforcement, improving visibility, resilience and auditability across cryptographic operations.
Public Key Infrastructure

PKI supports certificate-based authentication, encrypted communications and identity assurance for users, applications, devices and machines at scale, enabling Zero Trust and machine identity security.

Data protection by design

Data is one of the most critical assets for organisations and one of the most targeted. As data flows across applications, cloud platforms, networks and users, traditional perimeter-based security is no longer sufficient.

Thales helps organisations protect sensitive data across its entire lifecycle, from creation and processing to storage, transmission and long-term retention across on-premise, cloud and hybrid environments.

Thales supports organisations in designing, integrating and operating robust data protection architectures, combining encryption, Key Management Systems and Public Key Infrastructure, while delivering Data Protection on Demand and Managed HSM services to ensure confidentiality, integrity and regulatory compliance across the full data lifecycle.

How thales can help

Thales provides knowledge transfer, operational enablement, deployment and management of solutions to fit your organisation's specificities. This includes Managed HSM and Data Protection on Demand services, enabling organisations to benefit from enterprise-grade cryptographic protection, rapid deployment and simplified lifecycle management without dedicated infrastructure.

Cutting-edge technologies we deploy

Use case: European Banking Data Protection

A European banking institution partnered with Thales to strengthen the protection of sensitive and regulated data across its hybrid cloud environment. The objective was to support GDPR and DORA compliance by improving data classification, enforcing stronger encryption controls and gaining full control over cryptographic keys in cloud and on-premise environments.

Thales designed and implemented a data-centric security approach combining encryption, centralised key management and hardware security modules (HSM). The solution enables secure data protection across Microsoft cloud services and on-premise systems, including double-key encryption for critical data, while maintaining governance, auditability and operational control over cryptographic assets.
