FYI, I have successfully used EncFS and Cryptomator to store encrypted
Gnucash data on a Dropbox-like sync service.

I agree with the essence of Stephen's reply: gnucash does accounting. If you
need a layer of encryption to protect that, you'll have to find a solution
that supplements it.
Simply put:
- I'm not the one using it
- it's to prevent casually or accidentally displaying the data
- considering the external value of personal cashbook data this very
accessible process kindly provided by a community member seems
fit-for-purpose
- GnuPG may well offer better security but it's
Encryption is very personal and also very hard to get right.
1. Personal. You might prefer a commercial product (PGP) while I
prefer open source (GnuPG).
2. Hard. Simply XOR and many short-bit keys are now easily breakable.
Even those who create methods (two-fish, RSA, etc) make mistakes
Er ... no encryption.

The actual problem is access to personal data on a work supplied computer.
An optional program based backup is more appropriate. GnuCash won't install
but thankfully there is a portable
GnuCash already has an option in the user preferences for the XML data file
to be stored in compressed form (zipped) on the hard disk. It is
automatically zipped and unzipped by gnucash in that case. It may be the
default but I'm less sure about that.
Just copy it to a backup location as
