Here are a few specific questions I’d love input on:

  • CRM Security: How do popular CRMs (like HubSpot, Zoho, or self-hosted options) handle sensitive data? Are there specific security features I should be looking for?
  • VPS Hosting: For those using VPS hosting to run their CRM, how do you ensure the server is secure? Do providers like OVH, DigitalOcean, or Hetzner have a strong track record for safeguarding data?
  • Best Practices: What steps should I take to secure a CRM and VPS setup, especially for compliance with privacy laws (e.g., GDPR)?


I’d love to hear your recommendations.
Popular CRMs usually offer robust security features like encryption, access controls, and regular audits, so definitely look for those. When it comes to VPS hosting, choosing a reputable provider with a solid track record is key, they often have built-in security measures, but you should also regularly update your software and follow best practices for compliance with privacy laws like GDPR.
