DuoKey for Microsoft 365

Double Key Encryption product sheet. 4 pages.

How Double Key Encryption works in Microsoft 365. Content with a sensitivity label needs two keys to open. Microsoft holds one, and you hold the other outside Microsoft. It covers the flow with Microsoft Purview, the key types, and running DuoKey on premises or as SaaS. Get the sheet if you have to show a regulator or customer that specific Microsoft 365 content is out of Microsoft's reach.

With standard Microsoft 365 encryption, Microsoft controls the keys. That means Microsoft can technically decrypt your content, and can be compelled to.

Double Key Encryption changes that. Labelled content needs two keys to open. Microsoft holds one and you hold the other. Without yours, nobody can read it, Microsoft included.

The sheet explains the two-key flow with Purview sensitivity labels, DuoKey's container-based deployment (on premises, SaaS, or a mix), and how use of your key is controlled and audited. Download it if you need to show a regulator or customer that your most sensitive Microsoft 365 content is beyond Microsoft's reach.
