Storing Sensitive Data ( like SSNs )
We might have to store Social Security Numbers. We REALLY don't want to do this in our own database, we'd like some external 'vault' service that stores them encrypted and getting to them is difficult. Does anyone have any ideas along these lines?

Kevin, I've seen many solutions ranging from encryption to cloud storage. I'm curious: have you come up with some good ideas?
Happy 10th year, JCertif!
