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.
