The most secure, albeit not perfectly secure, way is to use Workgroup

If you want real security, SQL Server can provide it, including the
free Express edition.

Yes. You can still run it, but not create it.

Define "it".

As far as I know, Access security is still available for MDB files created
in Access 2007, but not for the new ACCDB file format. You are supposed to
use the security provided by SharePoint or by the server database you are
using as a back-end. If you are using ACCDB as a back-end, no security is
supported.

In the past, I've worked on Access client applications, to which we applied
Access security, with server DB back ends, in which we applied the server
DB's security. Now, it seems, only the server's security can be used.
