Disk level encryption

G/Day forum,
I've been asked to find a disk level encryption software, that will be
installed on a Windows 2000 based file server, and basically encrypt credit
card data thats
stored on disk. In this case EFS isn't sufficient.
So far I've only looked at one product: NetLib Encryptionizer DE (
http://www.netlib.com/file-encryption.shtml ). Does anyone have any opinions
on this product? Alternatives?
Regards,
Steve.PGP Disk with a 2048 bit key should do it.

Ask the vendor if they support SQL Server on it.
Any reason why you want to encrypt the disk? If a user with the correct
permissions copies the DB off that disk, your data is open. Your backup is
open too.
Rather encrypt the data in the application before you save it into the DB.
Then only the application can get to it.

The reason I want to encrypt the contents of the disk (remember its a file
server not a database server) is because its a requirement for the PCI
Credit Card security standard.
NetLib seem to lead the way when it comes to providing encryption software,
and they understand the security standard.
Regards,
Steve.

Excellent encryption, negligible processing overhead and affordable.
