Cryptographic erasure

Team and Enterprise: per-Space customer-managed KMS keys. Schedule deletion via kms:ScheduleKeyDeletion with a 7–30-day pending window. After the window, every ciphertext encrypted under that CMK is permanently unrecoverable.

On Team and Enterprise, every Shared Space has its own customer-managed KMS CMK (spaces.kms_key_arn). The crypto is identical at both tiers; Enterprise adds per-Space audit-log filtering and procurement features around it.

Provisioning

App.SpaceProvisionKMS calls kms:CreateKey and kms:CreateAlias to mint a new CMK and tag it to the Space. Provisioning happens automatically the first time a Shared Space is created.

Erasure

Offboarding calls App.SpaceScheduleKMSDeletionkmsadmin.ScheduleDeletionkms:ScheduleKeyDeletion with a 30-day pending window (configurable 7–30 days).

After the pending window elapses:

  • Every ciphertext encrypted under that CMK is permanently unrecoverable
  • The data still exists in DDB
  • No key exists to decrypt it
  • Not by you, not by ShellYard, not by AWS

This is the audit primitive every MSP compliance review eventually asks for. The mechanic ships on Team; Enterprise wraps it in the procurement and audit-filtering features that compliance reviews additionally require.
