1. Purpose of the Document
This document outlines the full implementation of encryption measures applied to all donor-related data within SayPro systems, covering both data at rest (stored) and data in transit (transmitted). It is part of SayPro’s Q1 2025 strategic data protection objective to ensure complete compliance with global data privacy regulations (GDPR, POPIA) and maintain donor trust.
2. Objective
To ensure that 100% of donor data managed by SayPro is encrypted throughout its entire lifecycle—from collection and processing to transmission and archival—thereby protecting it from unauthorized access, interception, or tampering.
3. Encryption Scope
The following areas were targeted for encryption:
| Data Type | Location/Medium | Encryption Status |
|---|---|---|
| Donor personal details | CRM databases, website forms | Encrypted at rest & transit ✅ |
| Payment and transaction information | Payment gateways (PayGate, PayPal, Peach) | Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) ✅ |
| Email communication logs | Email servers and archiving systems | Encrypted at rest ✅ |
| Backup files and data repositories | Cloud storage and local server environments | Encrypted at rest ✅ |
| Internal access logs and activity | Digital Access Tracking systems | Encrypted at rest ✅ |
4. Encryption Standards Used
SayPro has adopted the following globally recognized encryption protocols:
- Data in Transit:
- TLS 1.3 (Transport Layer Security) for secure communication between browsers, applications, and servers.
- HTTPS protocol enforced on all public-facing web pages.
- Data at Rest:
- AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard – 256-bit) used for all stored donor data, including backup archives.
- Database-level encryption for CRM and payment information.
- Email Security:
- S/MIME for email encryption across internal donor communication.
5. Implementation Process
5.1 Phase 1 – Audit & Classification (January)
- Mapped all sources and repositories of donor data.
- Classified data by sensitivity and regulatory obligation.
- Assessed current encryption gaps and vulnerabilities.
5.2 Phase 2 – Technology Deployment (February)
- Upgraded web servers and cloud storage to support AES-256 and TLS 1.3.
- Deployed full-disk encryption on internal SayPro servers.
- Updated backup policies to include encryption-before-archival measures.
5.3 Phase 3 – Monitoring & Validation (March)
- Conducted encryption integrity tests.
- Verified access control roles to prevent decryption by unauthorized users.
- Integrated monitoring tools for key management alerts and encryption health.
6. Access and Key Management
- Encryption keys are stored in a secure key vault with:
- Role-based access.
- Automatic key rotation every 90 days.
- Dual-admin approval for access changes.
- Keys are never stored with encrypted data in the same location.
7. Compliance and Auditing
- All encryption measures align with:
- GDPR Article 32 (Security of Processing)
- POPIA Condition 7 (Security Safeguards)
- SayPro passed the internal Q1 encryption audit with no non-conformities.
8. Risks Mitigated
| Risk | Mitigation via Encryption |
|---|---|
| Data breaches from external cyberattacks | Data unreadable without decryption key ✅ |
| Internal misuse of stored donor data | Role-based encryption access control ✅ |
| Interception during online donations | End-to-end TLS encryption during payment flow ✅ |
| Regulatory non-compliance | Full compliance with GDPR and POPIA ✅ |
9. Future Enhancements (Q2 and Beyond)
- Introduce zero-knowledge encryption for future donor portals.
- Automate encryption verification checks weekly.
- Expand encryption coverage to third-party integration logs.
- Perform external penetration tests focused on encrypted endpoints.
10. Conclusion
SayPro has achieved full encryption of donor data across all storage and transmission points, marking a major milestone in data protection and donor trust-building. Encryption not only safeguards against potential cyber threats but ensures SayPro’s digital fundraising and sponsorship activities remain secure, ethical, and legally compliant.
