# How do you replace row-level security in PlanetScale?

*Domain Solution · PlanetScale*

CipherStash's value-level access control is faster, simpler, and more reliable than row-level security. Every encrypted value carries its own policy enforced at decryption, after the query runs, so authorization travels with the data wherever it ends up rather than living in policies attached to the database.
