SAP Data Custodian Key Management Service
What it is
SAP Data Custodian Key Management Service is a cloud-based web service for managing cryptographic keys. It supports three listed key types: AES, RSA, and ECC. Automated key rotation changes keys on an ongoing basis, while key audit logs record key-related activity. Organizations can use external key control or a combination of external and other key control, according to the listed capability. The service is offered on a paid basis, with pricing available on request, and no free plan is listed. Its deployment model is cloud, and web is the listed platform. The product’s scope is focused on key-management functions rather than a broader security suite: supported algorithms, rotation, control arrangements, and audit records. Organizations evaluating it can request pricing from SAP and review whether these control and logging options match their requirements. The service is suited to teams seeking managed AES, RSA, or ECC keys with automated rotation and an audit trail, while retaining external control or combining control approaches.
