DKE uses two keys: one key controlled by the organization and a second key securely stored in Microsoft Azure. Both keys are required to access protected data.<\/p>\n<p>This addresses a central question of digital sovereignty:<\/p>\n<p>How can an organization prevent the cloud provider alone from accessing particularly sensitive data?<\/p>\n<p>eperi sEcure also aims to give organizations greater control over their sensitive data and encryption.

DKE uses two keys, one of which is controlled by the customer. Both keys are required to access protected content.<\/p><p><strong>What is the difference between Microsoft DKE and eperi sEcure?<\/strong><\/p><p>DKE is a Microsoft Purview technology for particularly sensitive Microsoft 365 content and uses a two-key model. eperi sEcure, by contrast, follows a platform-independent data-centric security approach. (LINK TO PAGE)<\/p><p>In addition to the architectural differences, the most important distinction lies in preserving functionality: due to its security model, DKE restricts certain Microsoft 365 features, while eperi sEcure is designed to combine protection with application functionality.<\/p><p><strong>Which features do not work with Microsoft DKE?<\/strong><\/p><p>Microsoft documents limitations including Copilot, eDiscovery, Content Search, indexing, Office for the Web, co-authoring, AutoSave, and certain SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams features.<\/p><p><strong>Can Microsoft Copilot use DKE-protected data?<\/strong><\/p><p>No. According to Microsoft, DKE-protected content cannot be used by Copilot.<\/p><p><strong>Does eperi sEcure preserve the functionality of the cloud application?<\/strong><\/p><p>eperi sEcure follows a <strong>function-preserving approach<\/strong>. The goal is to protect sensitive data while preserving relevant functionality of the respective cloud or SaaS application. The specific functionality that can be preserved depends on the application and the respective use case.<\/p><p><strong>Is eperi sEcure an alternative to Microsoft DKE?<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes, depending on the use case. DKE is particularly suitable for highly sensitive Microsoft 365 content when maximum access control is the priority and functional limitations are acceptable. eperi sEcure is particularly relevant when absolute data sovereignty, preservation of functionality, and platform independence are required at the same time.<\/p><p><strong>What is the difference between Microsoft DKE and Customer Key?<\/strong><\/p><p>Customer Key uses customer-controlled root keys within Microsoft's service encryption architecture. DKE, by contrast, uses two keys, both of which are required to access protected content. DKE therefore provides stronger separation from the cloud provider, but also results in greater functional limitations.<\/p><p><strong>Are DKE and eperi sEcure suitable for highly sensitive data?<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes. Microsoft explicitly positions DKE for particularly sensitive and business-critical data. However, Microsoft does not recommend DKE as a universal encryption solution for all data, but rather for data with particularly high protection requirements because important functionality is lost.<\/p><p>eperi sEcure is likewise suitable for highly sensitive data while aiming to preserve functionality.<\/p><p><strong>Is eperi sEcure multi-cloud capable?<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes. eperi sEcure is designed as a platform-independent security layer and can protect different cloud, SaaS, and web applications. This makes the approach particularly suitable for heterogeneous multi-SaaS and multi-cloud environments.<\/p><p><strong>Why Is Provider Independence Important for Data Security?<\/strong><\/p><p>An independent security layer can help organizations implement data security policies and protection mechanisms consistently across multiple SaaS and cloud providers. This makes the security architecture less dependent on the native capabilities of any one cloud provider.<\/p><p><strong>Can eperi sEcure protect Microsoft 365?<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes. eperi sEcure can be used for Microsoft 365 scenarios. The approach differs from DKE: eperi does not use Microsoft's specific two-key model, but instead provides an independent data security layer focused on data sovereignty and preservation of functionality.<\/p><p><strong>Are Microsoft DKE and eperi sEcure direct competitors?<\/strong><\/p><p>To some extent. Both solutions address high requirements for data protection, encryption, and control over sensitive data.
