# Storage encryption disabled

A database or volume that sets encryption to false, such as storage_encrypted = false or encrypted = false.

Area: Security

## What you need to supply

The infrastructure text you paste or send from your editor. The check does not open the cloud account.

## If it reports a finding

High severity. The suggested next step is to turn encryption on and plan how existing data moves onto encrypted storage.

## What this does not prove

A resource that omits the encryption setting is not this finding. No finding does not prove the data is encrypted.

## Setting that this check is written to notice

```
storage_encrypted = false
```
