How secure is data?

Hello,

I am using ChronoForms/ChronoConnectivity with Joomla 1.5 to create a loan application form. So far it's been working out great.

Unfortunately, I'm a complete newbie and I have no idea how internet security works. I'm concerned because the application form has lots of sensitive information that needs to be protected.

So, I guess what I'm asking is how secure is the information in stored in a ChronoForm tables? And is the information secure when being sent through the e-mail feature? I am using Godaddy hosting; I assume their servers are secure, but I'm not really sure.

Thanks,
Guy

Hi Guy,

I can't speak for GoDaddy's servers but probably you should assume that they are only moderately secure.

There are techniques for encrypting data in the database and you might need to use these http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.4/en/encryption-functions.html
