You can encrypt all your file system or to create a encrypted volume on your
hard drive, and save the database there.

Every time you turn the computer on, you will need to enter the password to
mount the volume. Without the password, you can't access your database
anyway.

If, for any reason, you get in trouble, you just turn off your server and
nobody will access your database.

If you use windows, you can try these 2 free softwares:

If you use Linux, usually it supports encrypted volumes nativelly
