Cryptography
Description
Cryptographic controls applied appropriately to data at rest + in transit.
⚠️ Risk Impact
Encryption gaps expose personal data; PIPA requires encryption for resident registration numbers + other sensitive data.
🔍 How EchelonGraph Detects This
EchelonGraph's Tier 1 Cloud Scanner automatically checks for this condition across all connected cloud accounts. Violations are flagged as high-severity findings with remediation guidance.
🔧 Remediation
Encryption at rest + transit. KMS for key management. Annual key rotation.
💀 Real-World Attack Scenario
A Korean SaaS stored resident registration numbers unencrypted. PIPA breach: ₩4.5 billion penalty + customer notification cost.
💰 Cost of Non-Compliance
Crypto violations: up to 3% revenue + breach notification cost.
