Protect Data in MongoDB using Java Spring

At this moment I've an application built in Spring (Java 11) and I'm trying to figure out a better way to cypher the data that is stored in MongoDB.

Currently I've a method to cypher the user's password:

@Bean
public PasswordEncoder encoder() {
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
}

user.setPassword(passwordEncoder.encode(password));

It works fine, but since I'm getting worried about data leaks I'll encode the whole user's personal data like name, address and email...

The main question I want to ask is: There's a better way to make this effient? Or the best way is to use the same code above to the trick?

PS: I've no problems to add new modules from Spring, like Security or Cloud.

If you Store the Data encrypted in your dB How should the search part work? You would have to do a lot of Computing for every search which makes no sense. Encode your backups and use database auth with strict permissions and you are good.

Glad this helped:)
