Data Security / Encryption

Frédéric Rinaldi

Dear all,

Many of my customers (SugarCRM 7.x or 8.x Pro or Ent) ask us what is the best question to secure SugarCRM data.

Of course, we recommended the main "standards" security options (role/team for end user, VPN access, HTTPS, restricted access to database etc.).

But, the "new" question is more to also secure the database content itself ; is there any standard solution to easily encrypt the database content but let SugarCRM work without restriction.

We know that we could created "encrypted" field inside SugarCRM but the target is more a global database encryption.

It should be a weird question but I'm not a system security expert, so I am open to all your suggestions or experiments.

Kind regards,

Fred

    I'm looking for "encryption at source" with respect to protecting PII from a cyber security insurance perspective. I completely agree with the recommendations already given regarding best practices, but I'm specifically being asked if my PII is encrypted at source by the insurance company. 

    Is TDE my best option? Does SugarCRM not directly support some way to do this by flagging specific fields that contain sensitive data that I'm not aware of? 

    Thanks in advance for any help on this.
