Client Type: An HR & Payroll platform used by multiple mid-sized companies

Challenge:

• Sensitive employee data such as salary, tax ID, and banking information stored in plaintext

• Lack of encryption raised concerns during an internal compliance audit

• Developers had access to production backups for troubleshooting

Key Risks:

• Potential exposure of personal and financial data

• Internal misuse or accidental leakage of sensitive records

SEVOLA’s Data Encryption Solution:

• Applied field-level encryption for high-risk data (salary, bank account, NPWP)

• Introduced key access controls and audit logs

• Integrated KMS for secure key lifecycle management

Result:

• Data exposure risk minimized without impacting system performance

• Developers received access to masked datasets in non-prod environments

• Audit team signed off with compliance clearance and recommendations fulfilled
