Introduction
There are numerous reasons for encrypting your data but, in today's environment, avoiding a data breach is possibly the most important. The SDHS is heavily protected against such an occurrence, but an extra layer of protection is available in the form of on-the-fly encryption from VeraCrypt. Instead of reproducing the beginner's guide here, we have given you a link to VeraCrypt's own help guides below.
IMPORTANT
Should you choose to encrypt your data, you must remember your password/passphrase. If you forget it, you will not be able to decrypt your data and it will be lost forever.
CSCS will not be able to recover encrypted data for you.
