Store your logs in a LUKS volume. There's no built-in encryption in
journald.

And... quite frankly, I cannot imagine how service name or its UID would be
more sensitive than the messages themselves? It seems the opposite of every
single system I've seen. The *messages* often contain sensitive
information, whereas PIDs or service names are mostly generic info.

Just set up a LUKS container for /var/log.
