About Azure Key Vault
Enhance data protection and compliance with Key Vault. Secure key management is essential to protect data in the cloud. Use Azure Key Vault to encrypt keys and small secrets like passwords that use keys stored in hardware security modules (HSMs). For more assurance, import or generate keys in HSMs, and Microsoft processes your keys in FIPS validated HSMs (hardware and firmware) - FIPS 140-2 Level 2 for vaults and FIPS 140-2 Level 3 for HSM pools. With Key Vault, Microsoft doesn’t see or extract your keys. Monitor and audit your key use with Azure logging—pipe logs into Azure HDInsight or your security information and event management (SIEM) solution for more analysis and threat detection.

SikkerKey
SikkerKey allows you to manage application secrets across every machine in your stack using secure, machine-authenticated requests instead of bearer tokens. Instead of distributing replayable scoped tokens, SikkerKey verifies machine identity with asymmetric cryptographic proof, giving teams a stronger security primitive without the usual complexity. Run a single bootstrap command, approve the machine in the dashboard, and it’s ready to securely request the secrets it needs.
