DISA STIG recommends
RHEL-10-000510 CAT I
RHEL 10 must implement cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure or modification of all information on local disk partitions that requires at-rest protection.
NIST SP 800-53: SC-28, SC-28(1)
Check
Note: If there is a documented and approved reason for not having data-at-rest encryption at the operating system level, such as encryption provided by a hypervisor or a disk storage array in a virtualized environment, this requirement is not applicable. Verify RHEL 10 prevents unauthorized disclosure or modification of all information requiring at-rest protection by using disk encryption.

If there is no evidence that persistent filesystems are encrypted, this is a finding.
Fix
Configure RHEL 10 to prevent unauthorized modification of all information at rest by using disk encryption. Encrypting a partition in an already installed system is more difficult, because existing partitions will have to be resized and changed. To encrypt an entire partition, dedicate a partition for encryption in the partition layout.
