Customer-managed keys for Fabric workspaces (Preview)

Customer-managed keys (CMK) for Microsoft Fabric workspaces are now available in preview in all public regions! This expansion makes it easier for customers worldwide to meet compliance requirements and implement robust data protection strategies.

Note: Encrypt data at rest in your Fabric workspaces using customer-managed keys (Preview) was released in a limited set of regions earlier this year, for more information, refer to the Customer-managed keys for Fabric workspaces documentation for setup.

Fabric already encrypts all data at rest with Microsoft-managed keys (MMK). CMK gives you an option to meet compliance and regulatory requirements beyond that, by using keys you own to protect your data.

With this release we are also adding support for Azure Managed HSM (MHSM). MHSM support brings added benefits such as higher security standards and dedicated hardware protection, giving way for customers with stricter compliance requirements to take advantage.

We encourage you to try out CMK in your Fabric workspaces and take advantage of these new capabilities. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve and expand our security offerings—please share your experiences and suggestions with us!
