Zusammenfassung:A cloud-based platform encrypts data imported from an organization using respective data encryption keys (DEK). The platform prevents decrypted data of the organization, and the DEK(s) used to encrypt such data, from being persistently retained within the platform. Access to the DEK may be controlled by the organization. Accordingly, the organization may retain control over access to its data, after the data has been exported to the platform. The platform may provide a purge control by which the organization can configure the platform the purge any cached DEK and/or unencrypted data pertaining to the organization.
