Benjamin,
you need to weight pros and cons of your web site being available from the internet. If you are using SSL for login and secure passwords, I would call it safe and would prefer getting access where ever I am. IMHO to avoid abuse of data you need a rigid management, who gets access to your documents, but not how. If I get access to a doc from my office, I would be able to email it home, upload to my Dropbox, put it on my USB stick.

 Thanks Sebastian. 

Okay, I see your point. Is it difficult to setup this SSL for login and secure passwords? 


Best regards

Benjamin,
to enable SSL you need to install SSL certificate on the web server and a dedicated IP address associated with your domain address bound to your IIS website. Now enable SSL support in DNN Site Setting and require SSL support for secured pages, as well as enable "SSL" setting for any page you'd like to secure. To secure Login page, you need a dedicated page with Account Login module installed (Login Page setting in Admin > Site Settings needs poiinting to it) instead of using login control (i.e. login page setting left blank).

 Thanks Sebastian. I have also research this topic yesterday and found also a SSL certificate: RapidSSL. 

Which pages should I secure? Only login page? 

And can you give a short explaination, how SSL security can help me being secured? I understand that SSL will crypt all data, that users are sending to my websites. I could understand the point, if it is used for webshops - where you want to secure users that their creditcard etc information is encrypted and that I do not store it on my servers. But in my case, users are only "loging in". Do this than mean that noone are able to see their passwords or? 


Best regerds

If these issues are a concern, you should consider moving the website internally to your company network and that would eliminate most of this.
