CCC Key Management Controls

Version: v2026.11

IDTitleObjectiveControl FamilyThreat MappingsGuideline MappingsAssessment Requirements
CCC.KeyMgmt.CN02Limit Cryptographic Operation GrantsRestrict the decrypt, sign, and MAC-generation operations to authorised principals only, applying the principle of least privilege to protect sensitive data and the integrity of signed content.Access Control222
CCC.KeyMgmt.CN03Enforce Automatic RotationEnsure symmetric keys rotate automatically within policy intervals to reduce exposure of key material.Encryption222
CCC.KeyMgmt.CN04Validate Imported KeysAccept only externally generated keys that meet approved cryptographic strength and provenance requirements.Encryption122
CCC.KeyMgmt.CN05Enforce a Key Deletion Recovery WindowEnsure that destroyed key material remains recoverable long enough to detect and reverse an unintended deletion.Data Resilience202
CCC.KeyMgmt.CN06Restrict Key Algorithms to the Approved ListEnsure that every key created in the service uses an algorithm and key length permitted by organizational cryptographic policy.Encryption201
CCC.KeyMgmt.CN07Require HSM Protection for Key MaterialEnsure that key material is generated and held only inside validated hardware security modules.Encryption101
CCC.KeyMgmt.CN09Bind Each Key to a Single Cryptographic PurposeEnsure that no key is exposed through more than one cryptographic protocol.Encryption101
CCC.KeyMgmt.CN10Alert on External Key Store FailuresEnsure that loss of connectivity to an external key manager is detected before dependent workloads fail silently. Compromise of the external key manager is outside the scope of a service-side control.Observability101
