Hi Kasani007,
Yes you can consider it as a safe provided what options you are using. The TransportCredentialOnly security mode option passes the user credentials without encrypting the messages. Use this mode with caution as it will not protect the credentials being transmitted and they will have to be protected by some other means, such as Internet Protocol Security (IPSec).
