Hi @ASHISH SINGH ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

As JeffreyWilliams-3310 mentioned, you could zip files using a script task. Please refer to the process from this video. For the script, please read below links:
How to: Compress and extract files
File Encryption and Decryption in C#

In addition, you could zip files using Execute Process Task, but this task cannot encrypt the files. Please refer to this blog

Use a script task to call out to your zip utility to compress and password protect the file. Then - using file system commands in that same script task move the file to the archive location. You cannot use standard System.IO.Compression library to add a password, therefore you need a third-party library.
