Data Encryption & Protection
Ensuring your sensitive data remains secure and fully encrypted everywhere it lives and moves, not just where it’s easiest to configure.
Who this is for: Businesses handling sensitive customer, financial, or health data that needs to stay protected everywhere it lives, not just where it’s convenient to configure.
The Problem
Encryption is often set up correctly in one place and quietly forgotten in another, the database is encrypted but the backup isn’t.
Our Solution
We map the full path your data actually travels and close the gaps, at rest, in transit, and everywhere it moves in between.
What's included
- Encryption at rest for databases, backups, and file storage
- TLS configuration review for data in transit
- Key management review
- Data classification, so you know what actually needs protecting
- Sensitive-data discovery across systems and file shares
- Secure file-sharing setup
- Data retention and disposal policy
Encryption is often correctly configured in one place and forgotten in another, the database is encrypted but the backup isn’t, or TLS is enforced on the main site but not the API. We audit the whole path data actually travels, not just the obvious point.
Benefits
- No unencrypted gap in the path your data actually travels
- A clear inventory of what actually needs protecting
- Easier, evidence-backed compliance and cyber-insurance conversations
Our Process
Classify
Identify what data actually needs protecting.
Map
Trace where it lives and everywhere it moves.
Audit
Check current encryption at every point in that path.
Close Gaps
Fix the points where encryption is missing or misconfigured.
Document
Leave a baseline that can be audited again later.
Frequently asked questions
Does this cover data stored with third-party SaaS tools?
We review it as part of data classification and mapping, since sensitive data living in a SaaS tool still needs to be accounted for, though what we can directly configure depends on what that provider exposes.
Is this required for compliance frameworks like PIPEDA or HIPAA?
Encryption is a common control across most frameworks, but requirements vary. We can align this work with a specific framework’s requirements as part of the engagement.
