A small padlock symbol is usually enough to indicate that the form provided is secure. The URL will also be different from the usual one in that it will start off with https:// instead of just http://.  It will have the extra "s".

9. Remember to maintain good physical security. Keep that Laptop away from prying eyes. Destroy sensitive print-outs

Computer Security Tip: Using a special radio receiver it is possible for people to read what's displayed on your monitor but only if it is of the older cathode ray type, flat screens are immune to the problem, in situations requiring high security always use flat screens, it is also possible to find special filters to put on your monitor that only allow someone immediately in front of the screen to see what is being displayed. - Shaun Kaye Vauxhall London England
