Enable Transparent Data Encryption
Enabling TDE would go a long way to help placate business sponsors concerned about their data being housed in Microsoft's datacenters. Even though the cloud is arguably more secure than doing it yourself, turning on TDE would provide a warm fuzzy feeling to those not comfortable with the concept.

We have several improvements around encryption, including data at rest and during use. Today I don’t have a timeframe that I can share.

Indeed this would go a loooong way towards addressing the common concern that my data is at risk of prying eyes in the cloud.

This is the main thing holding us back, as our data is patient information.

This feature would go along way in convincing companies that their confidential and/or sensitive data can safely be stored on Azure. Plus, without it, us devs need to build custom encryption solutions to store data securely.

I've been agitating for TDE without success since SSDS became SQL Azure.
