    Hi Support team,


    Can you please advise if the data at rest is now encrypted when stored on the AWS or Google servers after you have attained PCI-DSS compliance in September 2018?


    Cheers

    Please note that submission data is not encrypted by default unless you manually enable encryption in form. You may like to take a look at the following guide on how enable encryption in form:  https://www.jotform.com/help/344-Encrypted-Forms-and-How-to-Use-Them

    Hope this helps.

    Do get back to us if you have any questions.

    Hi Jotform Support,


    Just a follow-up query here, just to clarify do you any disk-level encryption? i.e. in the event the disk containing our data is lost we have confidence that our data is not exposed. This would be different from file-level encryption which i assume is the "Encrypted Forms".

    Hence for customers who don't enable encrypted forms how is their data protected when transferred to a backup tape etc.

    Hi,

    We use Google and AWS servers for all data related transfers. They have a disk-level encryption by default on their disks.
