Securing Sensitive Documents in SharePoint

Introduction to Securing Sensitive Documents

If you are considering building a portal where users can access sensitive documents such as paystubs, financial statements, or medical records, a proper security model must be put in place. Whether building a portal for employees, customers, business partners, or job applications, a robust security model is a necessity given the potentially catastrophic impact of sensitive data leaking out. In the past, lax security or security breaches have resulted in disgruntled employees, loss of confidence in IT, or legal action.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) or Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) are popular options for implementing a portal.
