Systems and methods are provided for implementing a secure computing system with encryption, including a file system with a set of encryption zones. Each encryption zone includes encrypted data files. The secure computing system also includes a set of encrypted data encryption keys, each of which corresponds to one of the encrypted data files, such that unencrypted versions of the encrypted data encryption keys decrypt the corresponding encrypted data files. Further, the secure computing system includes an encryption zone key for each of the encryption zones. Each of the encryption zone keys corresponds to at least one of the encrypted data encryption keys, such that the encryption zone keys decrypt the corresponding encrypted data encryption keys to generate the unencrypted version of the encrypted data encryption key. Thusly, various implementations of the secure computing system may comply with one or more information security standards for sensitive data.
