- The user must have the KeyManager role to rotate the Repository Key (RK), Master Key (MK), Signing Key, and Data Store Key (DSK).
- Key Rotation must be performed only after reviewing the existing policies or regulatory compliances followed by your organization.
- It is essential that a Corporate Incident Response Plan is drafted to:
- Understand the security risks of key rotation.
- Handle situations where keys might be compromised.
- Consult with security professionals, such as Protegrity, to understand how to enable key rotation. Minimize the impact on business processes affected by the keys during this process.
