Database Encryption for Your Business
Database encryption services make sure that a stolen disk or backup file is useless to whoever takes it. Omeiro applies AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit on PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server and MongoDB, so the data in those files cannot be read without the keys.

What you get with database encryption
Implementing AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit across PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and MongoDB. Ensuring stolen database backups remain mathematically unreadable.
Basic Package
Encryption at rest for 1 database. 2-day delivery, 2 revisions.
Standard Package
Up to 4 databases; key rotation. 4-day delivery, 2 revisions.
Premium Package
Up to 10 databases; backups encrypted; docs. 7-day delivery, 2 revisions.
Clear brief first
We confirm what you need before work starts, so the scope is clear on both sides.
Revisions listed
Each package shows its revision rounds. A round is one list of changes sent together.
Yours once paid
Copyright of the final work passes to you once the order is paid in full.
Work starts only after the scope is agreed in writing and you confirm you own or control the systems involved.
How our database encryption works
Inventory the data
We list each database, its engine and the backups attached to it.
Plan the keys
Where keys are stored and how they rotate is agreed before any change.
Apply encryption
Encryption is enabled and tested so queries still behave as before.
Verify and record
We confirm a backup cannot be opened without keys and write up what was done.
Database encryption layers and what decides the work involved
Database encryption comes in layers, and scope depends on which you need. Encryption at rest protects disks and backups, encryption in transit protects connections, and key management decides who can unlock either. Before work starts, note your engine and version, where backups are stored, how apps connect and who administers keys. Managed cloud databases often have a built-in option that is quick to switch on, while self-hosted servers may need a planned restart or a maintenance window.
A frequent mistake is encrypting the data but leaving backups, replicas and exports in plain form, or storing keys beside the data they protect. We check each of those paths and test a restore from an encrypted backup before finishing. A good database encryption result is documented: which databases, which settings, where keys live and how rotation works. That record also helps when auditors, HIPAA or GDPR reviews and insurer questionnaires ask about encryption.
In short
- Delivery in 2 to 7 days, by package.
- Fixed price, shown before you order.
- Teams preparing for an audit that asks about encryption at rest.
- Copyright yours after full payment.
Database Encryption: common questions
How much does database encryption cost?
Prices are fixed and shown by package on our Database Encryption pricing page, so you see the full price before you order. You can also ask for a custom quote.
How long does transparent data encryption setup take?
Delivery depends on the package: Basic 2-day delivery; Standard 4-day delivery; Premium 7-day delivery.
What is included in the Basic Package?
The Basic Package includes: Encryption at rest for 1 database. Higher packages add more scope, revisions and support.
Can I get a custom tde implementation consulting package?
Yes. If none of the packages fits, use the custom package form on our pricing page to describe what you need, and our team sends you a fixed price.
Will encryption slow down my database?
Encryption adds some overhead, but it is usually small on modern hardware. We test queries after enabling it to confirm.
Do you need access to production?
We need access to the databases being encrypted, and we prefer a staging copy for the first test run when you have one.
What is the difference between TDE and application-level encryption?
TDE protects files and backups without changing application code, while application-level encryption protects individual fields. This service focuses on the first.
What happens if we lose the keys?
Encrypted data cannot be recovered without them, which is why key storage and rotation are planned first.
Does encrypting a PostgreSQL database protect against SQL injection?
No. Encryption at rest protects stolen disks and backups, but an attacker who queries the database through your application still receives decrypted data. Input handling and access controls are separate protections.
Who owns the final work?
Copyright of the final work passes to you once the order is paid in full. Paid fonts, stock files or licences, if used, are licensed in your name.
