Thank you for the follow-up and the additional note regarding the "Man in the Middle Attack". Any outside transmission of the data will be sent via SSL so I'm hoping this helps mitigate the ability for others to eavesdrop on the external communications. As for the internal risk of a rogue employee/DBA stealing the data, that's a valid concern to be aware of. At the current time our development team size is relatively small and myself being the only DBA so I'll need to put safeguards into place for this as we continue to grow.

Thank you for all your help and input. Have a great day.
