Amazon Quick added support for encrypting sensitive data using customer-managed keys (CMKs) from AWS Key Management Service. This gives organizations control over encryption keys, auditability via CloudTrail, and quick revocation in security incidents, aligning with strict compliance requirements.

The feature supports multiple CMKs per account and region, providing granular encryption management. CMKs must be symmetric and reside in the same AWS account and region as the Quick data. AWS offers this capability across all regions where Amazon Quick is available.
