    Recent my employer has put me under the gun to provide proof that this site and the forms we create are secure and protected from unauthorized access.  If one was to put confidential information on a form what guarantees do we have that this information is secure and protected.  Can you please provide me with the needed information to give our IT people with respect to the security of this site and the contents within my profile. 

    Thanks

    Hello Syl,

    Jotform uses SSL on forms by default. So as soon as the user visits the form, their connection between the Jotform server and their browser is already encrypted. Our SSL offers 256 bit High-grade SSL encryption which ensures 100% secure submissions.

    If you want to tighten the level of your form security, we suggest enabling the client side encryption. Check this article to learn more http://www.jotform.com/blog/162-Introducing-Encrypted-Forms-The-Ultimate-in-Online-Form-Security.
