Planned Maintenance for 26 FEB to enable DB Encryption at rest

We have a planned maintenance outage https://status.thepluginpeople.com/ on SUN 26 FEB 0600 GMT where we will upgrade the JEMHC database to employ encryption at rest, such that the underlying storage devices contain unreadable data should they fail. This specific feature wasn’t available when JEMHC was launched many years ago and is just one more thing we are doing to ensure customer data safety.

 

27/2 UPDATE: Work completed as planned, all our db’s are now encrypted at rest meaning that should the underlying instances fail, and the storage devices are disposed of, there is no way for customer data to be exposed - even though we have always pre-encrypted database fields for sensitive data.
