Storage Encryption: Data is encrypted before being written to storage devices (e.g., hard drives, solid-state drives).
Database Encryption: Databases storing user information are encrypted at rest using industry-standard algorithms.
Key Management: Encryption keys are securely stored using Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) or other robust key management solutions. These keys are never stored alongside the encrypted data.
Strong Encryption Algorithms: Utilizing industry-standard, high-strength encryption algorithms like AES-256 for data encryption.
Regular Key Rotation: Encryption keys are rotated periodically to minimize the risk of compromise.
Restricted Key Access: Access to encryption keys is strictly controlled and granted only to authorized personnel using secure access controls.
Confidentiality: Encryption ensures that even if unauthorized users gain access to data at rest or in transit, they cannot decipher the information.
Data Integrity: Encryption helps to detect any unauthorized modifications made to data during storage or transmission.
Regulatory Compliance: Strong encryption practices can help organizations comply with data privacy regulations that mandate data security measures.
Enhanced Security Posture: Encryption adds an extra layer of protection for user data, significantly reducing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access.
