This requirement reduces risk in cloud data protection by ensuring cloud encryption is defined, consistently implemented and demonstrably effective across cloud environments. It supports the organization's need to secure cloud-based assets, data and services while managing cloud-specific risk.
Define encryption requirements for data at rest and in transit, approved cryptographic mechanisms, key ownership and rotation expectations. Verify encryption settings across supported services.
