Your database Security & compliance

Encryption at rest off (SQL Server TDE)

Part of the Database security posture check · fix arrives as a guide

What it is

Transparent Data Encryption is not enabled on a SQL Server database.

Why it matters

Data files, log files, and backups are stored unencrypted, so anyone who obtains the files — from a backup share, a snapshot, or a decommissioned disk — reads the contents without needing database credentials.

How to fix it

Enable TDE on the database and confirm the certificate is backed up and stored separately. Without that backup, an encrypted database cannot be restored elsewhere.
