Client wants to create an application form on their site and they require uploads of bank statements. This seems highly insecure as I understand that uploaded files will reside in the uploads folder and just sit there indefinitely, leaving them liable for lawsuits I bet.
Is there a secure way to do this in WordPress and if not, what is a good form service specifically for sensitive info like bank statements?

Security exists on a sliding scale of what is acceptable or not. For me I would never keep something that sensitive in uploads.
Personally I would be looking for a third party that can at least provide some guarantees of security. Maybe a file cloud provider with WordPress integration exists? So a user can only see a bank statement with the proper credentials?
