Can an iOS device be secure while being Jailbroken?

In researching how iOS devices (iPhone/iPad/iPodTouch) are protected via encrypted I came across many articles that mentioned if a device was "jailbroken" then the built in encryption of the iOS device was essential null and void. That by jailbreaking, the default encryption could be bypassed.

Assuming this is true is there anyway to enable the encryption features of an iOS device while maintaining a Jailbreak? There are a lot of tweaks I really make use of a lot (SBSettings) and I would hate to have to give them up in order to maintain security on iOS.

Jailbreaking removes the requirement for apps to be digitally signed. Anything will run now - so yeah you need to be careful what you load on there.

It's not an encryption issue thou.
