Yes, Cleversafe is based on object store technology but your comment about encryption is not correct. They have very strong encryption capabilities.

Another product (Amplidata's AmpliStor) does provide the means to encrypt data within the controller before converting it to erasure codes, so that might be an effective way to handle sensitive information.  But all technologies that "change" data have the built in risk of losing track of how to "unchange" the data later.
