Hello friend; what is the way of or process to protect customer data on web sites.
 
Depends on what you are trying to collect.

Just the first few things I would look at would be.

SSL on your site
When you store customer data encrypt it.
I would shy away from using a wordpress site.
I would be on at least a KVM VPS server

These are just a few things. Really hard to say not knowing what type of hosting plan you are on what type of data you are saving and so on.
 
Make sure customer data is protected by an authentication. Only user should access their own data when logged in
 
Sell them to third parties. lol they will take care of customer data.
 
lock down the database or files to that user use only...

learn apache secuity and mysql secuity
 
Better authentication procedures and encryption.. Encryption techniques are the best ways to protect data in any medium..
 
You can install the SSL certificate, it is best option to protect the data as it send the data in encrypted form while sending it over the network.

Other security measures are firewall setup, antivirus setup on the server. You should have performed the server hardening on the server which will do all security aspect on the server.
