Erik Daugherty · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

Encryption is the process of converting data using algorithm into forms unreadable by others unless they possess the key, this to protect the data from unauthorized access. It is a data security measure. Thus, it is advicable for security purposes that data Custodians should employ encryption in protecting all data for which they have physical or logical possession to prevent data loss or theft.
