Encryption, PKI, mTLS and Tokenisation

Encryption only helps if the keys are kept apart from the data and the certificates never lapse. We start from your data-at-rest requirements, decide what must be encrypted, tokenised or masked, and automate the certificates so nothing expires unnoticed.

What is included

  • Data-at-rest requirements assessed first: what must be encrypted, tokenised or masked, and where the keys live
  • Tokenisation of sensitive fields, such as card, ID and account numbers, when the data-at-rest requirements call for it: systems and websites keep a meaningless token, the real value stays in a protected vault
  • Encryption at rest for databases, disks and backups, with the keys held apart from the data
  • Certificates from a public certificate authority for anything the internet sees, or your own internal CA (such as Active Directory Certificate Services) for internal systems, chosen by requirement
  • Automated certificate rollover: certificates renewed and deployed before they expire, with an alert if a renewal fails
  • Mutual TLS (mTLS) where it is needed, so servers, APIs and devices prove who they are to each other
  • Encryption in transit everywhere: TLS 1.2 or later, with FIPS-approved ciphers

What you get

  • A stolen copy of the data that is useless to the thief
  • No outages from an expired certificate
  • Evidence of encryption controls for POPIA section 19 and your auditors

One engineer handles it from start to finish, so a change requested today can be in production the next day, once change-control documentation and testing are complete.
