I’ve been asked to provide a place for our sales reps to view and modify sales related data. My first thought is to put this on our internet site to provide the easiest accessibility for them since they travel often. But there are some concerns with having sensitive data of this nature stored outside of our internal network where we feel we have the most control. My question is, generally speaking can a site hosted by a hosting company be as secure as a site hosted internally? And vice versa? How can I know how secure the data in a MySQL database on our host’s server is, besides asking them? I guess I’m looking for the pros vs. cons of each scenario.
Thank you in advance,
David Rock
