Encryption (Preferably End-to-End) 
Rising security standards have made encryption commonplace among software providers. This means that your data is scrambled during transit and then de-coded when it reaches the server. With end-to-end encryption, only the sender and recipient are able to unlock and read the information. The messages are passed through a server, but it is not able to read the messages.

 

SSL 
Speaking of encryption, SSL (or Secure Socket Layer) ensures an encrypted connection between a browser and server. It is the most widely used security protocol on the internet for online banking and shopping sites. Generally speaking, the presence of ‘https://' as opposed to ‘http://’ in the browser address bar indicates that the connection between your computer and the website is SSL encrypted.

 

Penetration Testing 
Penetration testing (also called pen testing) is the practice of testing a computer system or network to find vulnerabilities. The main objective of penetration testing is to determine security weaknesses, but a pen test can also be used to test an organization’s security policy compliance, its employees’ security awareness, and the organization’s ability to identify and respond to security incidents.
