You do not have to be very technical to secure your device and as an extension your SCID. The encryption example is simply one of the many things that you can do. A few non-technical things you can do are:
1. Do not leave your device unlocked and unattended.
2. Do not share your device and\or password with anyone else.
3. Do not violate the ToS.
Encryption, device wipe, etc. are additional things you can do to better secure your device. Now that you know these terms a simple Google search would lead you to how you can better protect your device.
