WRMS utilise a hosted environment to comply with the government code of connection (CoCo). The Database
The Data is stored in a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 database using Transparent Database Encryption at an I/O level as described in the diagram below.
Connection to the hosted WRMS solution is achieved using Remote Desktop Services (RDS) RemoteApp. Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2008 R2, formerly known as Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and previous versions, is one of the components of Microsoft Windows (both server and client versions) that allows a user to access applications and data on a remote computer over a network, using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Terminal Services is Microsoft's implementation of thin-client terminal server computing, where Windows applications, or even the entire desktop of the computer running Terminal Services, are made accessible to a remote client machine. The client can either be a full-fledged computer, running any operating system as long as the terminal services protocol is supported. With terminal services, only the user interface of an application is presented at the client. Any input to it is redirected over the network to the server, where all application execution takes place. This is in contrast to appstreaming systems, like Microsoft Application Virtualization, in which the applications, while still stored on a centralized server, are streamed to the client on-demand and then executed on the client machine. Microsoft changed the name from Terminal Services to Remote Desktop Services with the release of Windows Server 2008 R2 in October 2009.

SSL Encryption
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol that provides communication security over the Internet. SSL encrypts the segments of network connections above the Transport Layer, using asymmetric cryptography for key exchange, symmetric encryption for privacy, and message authentication codes for message integrity
Dual Sign On
As the application will be running in a hosted RDS RemoteApp environment, the user connection will require a security password and the second will be managed by the WRMS software requiring the user to supply credentials to connect.
