Answer 1

You can do the following to achieve encryption in SharePoint.

• Enable TDE in SQL Server database. With this, you are encrypting the data stored in SQL server. Refer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/rycampbe/securing-sharepoint-harden-sql-server-in-sharepoint-environments
• Also as an additional layer of security, you can enable bitlocker in the disks
• use Azure rights management features to protect your document. Refer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/information-protection/deploy-rms-connector
• There are third party libraries that can be used to encrypt data in sharepoint. e.g. https://www.boxcryptor.com/en/sharepoint/

Hope this helps
