Data encryption and compliance in cloud environments
Modern Workspace > Data encryption and compliance in cloud environments
As organizations accelerate their cloud adoption, protecting sensitive information—whether structured, unstructured, at rest, or in transit—becomes a critical requirement. Encryption is the foundation of any modern data protection strategy, but without the right design and controls, it can create complexity or fail to meet compliance obligations.
Allevio guides organizations through the implementation of robust cloud encryption architectures that safeguard data while meeting compliance with standards like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIS2, and DORA. We ensure encryption isn’t just deployed—but deployed securely, auditable, and fit for your business.
What We Offer
Encryption Strategy & Design
Build encryption into your architecture from the start:
- Data classification and sensitivity mapping
- Selection of encryption types (symmetric, asymmetric, envelope)
- Key management strategy (cloud-native KMS, HSM, bring-your-own-key)
- Data protection policies for PII, PHI, financial, and proprietary data
Cloud-Native Encryption Implementation
Encrypt data at rest and in transit across platforms:
- AWS: S3, EBS, RDS, Redshift, KMS
- Azure: Blob Storage, SQL Database, Disk Encryption, Key Vault
- Google Cloud: Cloud Storage, BigQuery, CMEK/CSEK integration
- TLS/SSL configuration and endpoint-to-endpoint data flow protection
Key Management & HSM Integration
Control who manages, accesses, and rotates encryption keys:
- Deployment of Key Management Systems (KMS) and Hardware Security Modules (HSM)
- Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) and Hold Your Own Key (HYOK) strategies
- Key lifecycle policies (generation, storage, rotation, revocation)
- Role-based access and policy-based control over key usage
