Discussion Text
This control is intended to address the confidentiality and integrity of information at rest in non-mobile devices and covers user information and system information. If the data is not encrypted, it is subject to compromise and unauthorized disclosure.
Note: the system databases (master, msdb, model, resource and tempdb) cannot be encrypted.
The decision whether to employ cryptography is the responsibility of the information owner/steward, who exercises discretion within the framework of applicable rules, policies and law.
