A company website hosted on Amazon EC2 instances processes classified data stored in The application...

The simplest and most effective way to ensure that all data that is written to the EBS volumes is encrypted at rest is to create the EBS volumes as encrypted volumes. You can do this by selecting the encryption option when you create a new EBS volume, or by copying an existing unencrypted volume to a new encrypted volume. You can also specify the AWS KMS key that you want to use for encryption, or use the default AWS-managed key. When you attach the encrypted EBS volumes to the EC2 instances, the data will be automatically encrypted and decrypted by the EC2 host. This solution does not require any additional IAM roles, tags, or policies.
