Securing Client Credentials in a Multi-Tenant CRM

Storing FTP, cPanel, and API keys demands encryption at rest, strict access policies, and audit trails.

Minimum requirements:

• Encrypt sensitive columns in the database
• Restrict credential modules to authorized staff
• Never log decrypted values
• Rotate secrets after staff changes

Security is not a feature you add later ΓÇö it is part of the architecture.
