Evaluate customer-managed key custody for a healthcare cloud workload
Does customer-managed custody materially reduce risk without making recovery or clinical availability fragile?
Operational pain
A bring-your-own-key label can hide provider control-plane access, wrapping-key dependencies, unsupported PQC operations, and untested disaster recovery.
Trigger
Migration of imaging, analytics, or patient-engagement data to a cloud service.
QNSI contribution
Connect the decision to a controlled security path
Use QNSI connector evidence and guardrails to document custody operations, provider boundaries, key states, and qualification gaps.
Decision artifact
A custody decision record comparing provider-native, customer-managed, and external-HSM paths for the workload.
What still requires validation
The organization tests recovery, availability, revocation, support access, performance, and the exact validated cryptographic boundary.
External problem context
Primary sources
These sources establish the external requirement or risk context. They do not endorse HEOSSI or prove that QNSI completed this scenario.
Evidence boundary
What this page does—and does not—prove
This is a product evaluation pattern, not a customer case study, certification, legal opinion, regulator endorsement, or claim that a production deployment completed the described work.
