Transparent Data Encryption in Ramp Contracts

Transparent Data Encryption secures data at rest. It encrypts the database files themselves—tables, indexes, logs—using strong keys stored separately from the data. Even if a storage medium is stolen, the raw contents are unreadable. TDE runs at the engine level, with no need to change application code.

Ramp Contracts implements TDE as a default feature, not an optional add-on. Database creation scripts include encryption statements, key rotation schedules, and role-based access controls. This approach ensures compliance with security frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 without slowing down development.

The encryption keys in Ramp Contracts are managed through an integrated Key Management Service (KMS). Keys are rotated automatically. Every encryption event is logged and audited. Developers still get fast query times because TDE is optimized for minimal performance overhead. The system handles large tables, heavy write loads, and concurrent transactions without degradation.

Configuration remains clear and exact:

1. Enable TDE in the Ramp Contracts database setup script.
2. Store keys in KMS with strict access policies.
3. Verify encryption status with built-in audit commands.
4. Schedule key rotation aligned with security compliance rules.

The result is a transparent, automated security layer that works without manual intervention. No unencrypted backups. No orphaned keys. No weak links. Ramp Contracts makes TDE both invisible and unstoppable.
