# How do you achieve HIPAA-compliant encryption on DigitalOcean Managed Postgres?

*Domain Solution · DigitalOcean Managed Postgres*

CipherStash provides field-level encryption for PHI on DigitalOcean Managed Postgres plus a cryptographic audit trail that records every decryption: who, what, when, from where, and in what context. The audit trail is immutable by construction, which gives auditors continuous proof rather than point-in-time snapshots.
