Most of the security issues associated with Lotus Notes is due to bad implementation, bad setup, and lack of well thought security policies. One of the most important pre-implementation tasks is to plan how to manage the Lotus PKI (how to create and manage the certifier IDs, how to distribute and manage the private keys to users, key recovery, etc.). Another major issue many times overlooked is to not take the default access control settings for server security, databases, and templates. You need to look at each one and adjust them as needed. Proper planning is key.
