Encryption
Encryption for data at rest and in transit, designed so that a stolen disk, database copy or network capture is of no use to an attacker.

Overview
Encryption turns stolen data into noise. Without it, a lost laptop, a copied database or a captured network session exposes everything in readable form, and many organizations cannot show where encryption is and is not applied.
We help you decide what to encrypt, apply it without disrupting the applications that depend on it and prove to auditors that it is in place.
What you get
- Sensitive data encrypted wherever it is stored, moved or backed up
- Stolen laptops, disks and database copies of no use to whoever holds them
- Network traffic between users, applications and sites protected with current protocols
- Evidence for auditors and regulators that encryption is applied where it is required
What we cover
- Disk, database, file and application-level encryption
- Encryption of backups and removable media
- Encryption in transit, TLS and VPN
- Certificate lifecycle and TLS configuration review
- Encryption standards and policy aligned with your regulatory requirements
- Cryptographic inventory and a readiness review for post-quantum algorithms

How we work
-
Discover
We find where sensitive data lives and moves, and what protects it today.
-
Design
We design the encryption model by data type and risk, and choose the platforms with you.
-
Deploy
We enable encryption one system at a time, test performance on your busiest workloads and keep a tested rollback.
-
Verify
We check configurations, protocols and certificates and report any gaps.
-
Hand over
We document the standards and procedures and train your administrators.
Deliverables
- Data and encryption inventory
- Encryption standard and design
- Deployed encryption with test results
- Configuration and certificate review report
- Administrator training
Questions buyers ask
Will encryption slow down our applications?
Modern hardware makes the cost small for most systems. We test on your busiest workloads before rollout and size the platform for peak load.
Is encryption enough on its own?
No. It protects data only as well as its keys are protected, so we design encryption together with key management.
