If weakly protected, there are umpteen security threats that could hover on the information, leading to loss of data. For a need to maintain personal data of users, there must be efficient encryption algorithms in place that can protect the data from misuse and pass on the data in an encrypted form.
We must take care of seamless implementation of authentication processes since missing out on that could lead to an open hand to attackers for misusing important information which is private and confidential.
There must be thoroughly defined configuration setup rules and processes that facilitates a comprehensive and full proof security mechanism, which includes configuration and regular updates of various components like frameworks, systems, libraries, applications and more.

A proper log maintenance is sure to keep a higher level of security and privacy of information. These log records must be in an encrypted form so that it isn’t possible for anyone and everyone to read it.
There must be extra care and monitoring of different components, APIs that are exposed in the software solutions and services since undue exposure of them could leading to outrage of private and secure data, related to the applications.
