Your original question wasn't about security at all.  It was much more
vague than that, so perhaps you could restate the question more clearly?

Going back to your original post, the Puppet Dashboard and/or Foreman
are excellent candidates as ENC's that are backed by Postgresql.  Both
play nicely if you're wanting the functionality of Puppetdb as well. 

However, if your query is about storing data securely, you're looking at
something else entirely such as hiera-gpg or hiera integrated with eyaml
- although that's not an ENC solution, the encryption might be more what
you're after.  I've had good results using hiera-gpg to store passwords
etc., and find editing yaml files and storing them in git a bunch easier
than stuffing around in an ENC gui.

Alternately if you're wanting to use something for exported resources,
how about encrypting that before exporting it so that what's stored is
secured?  Just a thought.

To restate previous clarifications - PuppetDB uses a Postgresql database
to store data.  There's an api to access it, but it's reasonably locked
down.
