You are asking an awful lot as far as that is a pretty broad topic. Is the db going to be accessed via web? Then you need to run the whole thing over https, even internally. Don't use an access database.. Use LDAP auth for access.. Need a little more info too on what type of db, does it traverse the Internet or all on Internal network etc..

Security Question

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
