Users of the Drupal content management system (CMS) are now able to encrypt their sensitive data and meet security best practices with NIST-validated AES encryption and FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption key management using Townsend Security’s “Key Connection for Drupal” module.
With Key Connection for Drupal, administrators are now able to keep their encryption keys secure and meet compliance regulations by storing them outside of the Drupal database and only using them when encryption/decryption occurs.
Drupal developers who need to protect sensitive data know that storing their encryption keys within the CMS puts their data at risk for a breach. Additionally, almost every business must adhere to data security regulations set forth by industry standards groups. Anyone who is using Drupal to collect and store sensitive data (email addresses, personally identifiable information, e-commerce checkout process) needs to ensure that this data is held safely.
Key Connection for Drupal, combined with Townsend Security’s FIPS 140-2 compliant Alliance Key Manager, enables Drupal users to protect data in the cloud or on an external virtual or physical appliance. For organizations that need to meet compliance requirements, this means they are provably meeting industry standards and best practices.
Townsend Security has partnered with Cellar Door Media as the premier provider of encryption and key management integration within Drupal.
Key Connection for Drupal and Alliance Key Manager are available for a free 30-day trial. Learn more at www.townsendsecurity.com.
