I actually had an auditor ask step-by-step how our servers encrypt data at rest, complete with screenshots. We had to walk him through a ~15 page document to prove that we have encryption and it’s properly implemented. So while there are a bunch of free encryption tools out there you should still make sure you can explain what exactly they do just in case!
