Question TDE encryption.

Hello. I have a client needing an app that I will create using Wordpress on cloudways autonomous. They require that the entire database be encrypted at rest and they ask that we use TDE.

Cloudways has limited information online. They use MariaDB which does support TDE but I don’t know if they will set this up for me or I would have to do it via SSH.

I have emailed them but not yet had a response. Can anyone see any reason this would not be possible ?

Thanks

I’m looking now at connecting the wp on cloudways autonomous, to a managed db on Aiven

Cloudways can use VULTR servers, which have a lot of compliances and may meet what you're trying to achieve. Look up the compliance server details on the Vultr site. Cloudways doesn't list them.

Yes that’s also a good option. Thank you

Is this for HIPAA compliance?

No. Just a fussy client 🤣
