Keep your business data safe
Your customers and employees are your biggest assets, and they rely on you to protect their personal information. If their private information is lost, stolen or hacked, you'll need to take action.
Big or small, it's best not to take any chances.
Companies of all sizes have potential data security risks today. Larger companies are more likely to make front page news, but a breach can happen to any business. Small to medium organizations are popular targets of hackers, too. The good news is that there's plenty you can do to prepare.
Plan ahead
Thinking ahead is the first step in keeping your business information safe, and careful precautions can go a long way.
Here are some of the way you can keep your business safe.
Basic protection tips
- Lock up sensitive data
- Restrict access to data
- Define and regularly review data practices
- Review security procedures
Technology tips
- Limit the use of portable technology
- Don't use wireless networks
- Use password protection and encryption
- Install antivirus, anti-spyware, and encryption
