CRYPTOGRAPHIC FOUNDATIONS (HSMs)

Secure cryptographic operations with high-assurance hardware

Cryptographic foundations underpin the security of encryption, identity, payments, and digital trust systems. Data Protection Services (DPS) delivers hardware security module (HSM) solutions that provide a hardened root of trust for cryptographic keys and operations across enterprise, financial, and government environments.

How cryptographic foundations strengthen
your security posture

Secure ownership of your cryptographic keys

DPS helps organisations retain full control of cryptographic keys using hardware-backed protection that prevents misuse, exposure, and unauthorised access.

Resilient cryptography that scales with the business

We design HSM architectures that deliver high availability and performance, helping organisations securely scale as workloads and transaction volumes grow.

Reduced risk and regulatory exposure

By implementing HSM-backed cryptography aligned to recognised standards, DPS helps reduce systemic risk and support regulatory and assurance requirements.

Why data protection and encryption matter

Every secure system relies on cryptographic keys. If those keys are compromised, the security of dependent applications, data, and transactions collapses.

HSMs protect cryptographic keys inside tamper-resistant hardware, ensuring keys cannot be extracted, misused, or exposed, even if operating systems, applications, or administrators are compromised.

Strong cryptographic foundations significantly reduce systemic risk and support regulatory and assurance requirements.
