Physical Access Theft
Locks keep honest people honest — Folk saying (1912)
Morgan Stanley hired movers to decommission data centers in 2016. [1] Hard drives with 15 million customer records were auctioned online—unencrypted. [2] $35 million in fines. Most devices never recovered.
The Problem
Someone steals your server, backup drive, or old hardware. OS passwords provide zero protection against physical access—they boot from USB, bypass authentication, mount disks, copy everything. Customer data, credentials, databases—all gone. Data centers experience theft regularly. Decommissioning creates exposure.
- Stolen servers remain compromised if encryption is incomplete
- Decommissioning procedures often skip encryption steps entirely
- File deletion doesn't erase data just removes entries
- Database backups frequently stored unencrypted in secure locations
- Compliance explicitly requires encryption at rest for data
Complete Zero-Knowledge Encryption
Each repository encrypted with its own password. Every file, container, configuration, database, and backup protected. Only you hold the per-repo encryption key. Stolen hardware = worthless encrypted blobs.
- True zero knowledge per repo encryption you control
- Military grade encryption on complete infrastructure and backups
- Physical theft becomes worthless encrypted data has no value
- Provable encryption from deployment through decommissioning and disposal
- Built with compliance requirements in mind from start
