Overview
Encryption protects data if other controls fail. We design encryption architectures covering data in transit (TLS everywhere, mTLS internally), at rest (disk, database and object storage), and at field level for the most sensitive data — with key management through cloud KMS or HSMs, envelope encryption, key rotation and access separation.
Common use cases
- Sensitive data protectionField-level encryption for PII and financial data.
- Key managementKMS and HSM strategy.
- TLS modernisationConsistent, strong transport encryption.
- TokenisationReplacing sensitive data with tokens.
Quick answers
Encryption & Key Management at a glance
The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.
- What is encryption & key management?
- Encryption architecture — data at rest and in transit, key management, HSMs, envelope encryption and field-level encryption.
- Who is it for?
- Typically companies migrating to the cloud, teams whose releases are slow or risky, and organisations that need stronger reliability, security or cost control.
- What does Shivacha provide?
- Encryption in transit
- Encryption at rest
- Field-level encryption
- Key management
- Envelope encryption
- Tokenisation
- Which technologies are used?
- OWASP, HashiCorp Vault, Keycloak, OAuth 2.0 & OIDC, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
- How does the process work?
- Assess → Prioritise → Implement → Test → Monitor.
- What affects the cost?
- Number of applications and environments
- Compliance and data-residency requirements
- Availability and recovery objectives
- Existing automation and IaC maturity
- Multi-cloud or hybrid scope
- Ongoing managed-service needs
- How long does it take?
- Assessments take 2–4 weeks; platform builds and migrations are usually delivered in 2–6 month phases.
- How do I get started?
- Share a short brief in the form below, book a 30-minute call or message us on WhatsApp. A senior engineer replies within one business day; NDA on request.

Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for cybersecurity, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Shift leftSecurity checks in pipelines catch issues before production.
- Identity is the perimeterStrong identity and least privilege over network trust.
- Framework-alignedControls mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2 or PCI DSS where relevant; certification by accredited auditors.
- Practised responseIncident runbooks rehearsed, not just written.
Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Assess
Threat model, current controls and gaps against relevant frameworks.
- 2
Prioritise
Risk-ranked roadmap focused on the highest-impact controls first.
- 3
Implement
Controls built into infrastructure, pipelines and applications.
- 4
Test
Penetration tests, configuration reviews and attack simulations.
- 5
Monitor
Continuous detection, alerting and incident response procedures.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Infrastructure as code
Every change reviewed, versioned and reproducible.
Identity & network
Least-privilege IAM, private networking and zero-trust access.
Secrets & encryption
Central secrets management and encryption by default.
Monitoring
Alerting, audit logs and incident runbooks from day one.

Frequently asked questions
Is disk encryption enough?
It protects against physical theft but not against application-level access. Sensitive fields often need additional encryption.
Should we use an HSM?
For high-assurance key protection — such as payment or signing keys — HSMs or HSM-backed KMS are recommended.
Is Shivacha a certified security firm?
Shivacha does not currently claim security certifications. We implement technical controls and security engineering; where certification or attestation is required, it is performed by accredited third parties.
Do you offer penetration testing?
Yes, as part of security engineering engagements — scoped application, API and cloud testing with remediation guidance and re-testing.
