Data Encryption
What is Data Encryption?
Encryption is the process of converting data into a format that cannot be read without the correct decryption key. It ensures that data remains secure:
-
At rest (e.g. on disks or backups)
-
In transit (e.g. across networks or VPNs)
-
In use (e.g. within memory or secure enclaves — advanced use cases)
Encryption protects sensitive data from:
-
Unauthorized access
-
Breaches and leaks
-
Insider threats
-
Cloud platform misuse
Why It Matters
Encryption is often the last line of defense — even if attackers breach your system, they can’t use encrypted data without the key.
It’s also a legal and regulatory requirement:
-
GDPR Article 32 (security of processing)
-
ISO 27001 A.5.10–A.5.12
-
DORA Article 9
-
CSSF 22/806 (cloud encryption controls)
How We Help
Aginion builds encryption into all services — from infrastructure to endpoint, from backups to private cloud AI.
| Encryption Application Area | How Aginion Implements Encryption |
|---|---|
| Disk & Storage Encryption | Full-disk encryption for servers, laptops, and NAS devices (LUKS, BitLocker, ZFS-native). |
| Backup Encryption | Encrypted at rest and in transit, with customer-specific keys. |
| VPN and TLS Communication | TLS 1.2/1.3 used across all services; optional site-to-site VPNs with IPsec. |
| Email Encryption | Integration of PGP/S/MIME and enforced TLS email transport. |
| Private Cloud Encryption | Proxmox volumes, TrueNAS datasets, and VM disks encrypted by default. |
| Key Management | Keys are protected via password rotation, hardware storage options, or customer-controlled mechanisms. |
Encryption is not just a checkbox — it’s part of our design philosophy, ensuring your data is safe wherever it resides.
