In a world where personal information has become a vital commodity and is now the top priority for businesses of all sizes. A single breach can put customers at risk of identity theft and other financial damage and expose businesses to fines, reputational damage and even lawsuits. There are many ways to secure personal information and avoid hacking.
TAKE STOCK
Take stock of the amount of sensitive information your company stores in computer files and on servers, and make a plan to only keep it for as long as is necessary. This could mean taking inventory of devices that record data, such as PIN pads and surveillance cameras, as well identifying connections between computers and external sources, such as the internet or computers used to help support your network by service providers, or digital copier.
SCALE DOWN
Limit access to sensitive information only to those who need access to it. This minimizes the risk of insider threats or losses from hackers. Pro tip: Use the principle of least privilege. This means that you grant new accounts the smallest level of access to sensitive data. They can increase that privilege only as they rise in rank or job necessity.
It’s locked IT
Be sure that your passwords are secure, complex and unique. Passwords that are easy to guess could be hacked in a matter seconds and used to gain unauthorised access. Also, don’t send passwords in plain text via email. Also, be certain to secure any files that contain sensitive or private information.
