-  * This project is currently in **Beta** with many ongoing changes.+  * Whilst we are confident in the safety of the code, no system is risk-free. Nearly all software has bugs. Use your best judgement before storing highly confidential information in ITFlow.
  
-  * Whilst we're confident the majority of code is safe, nothing in life is 100% safe or risk-free. Writing functional, secure code is very difficult. The current fast pace of development/change may unintentionally introduce bugs/security issues. Use your best judgment before storing highly confidential information in the app. You may wish to consider running ITFlow on it's own server, using a web-app firewall, restricting access (except /portal) to trusted IP addresses, etc.+  * Need to report a security issue?
