In a world where personal data is a valuable resource, protecting the security of that data is a primary concern for both individuals as well as businesses of all sizes. One breach could expose clients to identity theft, financial damage or even lawsuits. There are a variety of ways to protect personal information and avoid hacking.

TAKE STOCK

Make a list of the amount of sensitive data your company holds in files and on computers and create a plan to only keep it for until it is absolutely necessary. This could involve taking inventory of devices that collect personal information, including PIN pads and security cameras, as well as identifying computer connections to external sources such as the internet or the computers that are used by service providers to help support your network, or digital copiers.

SCALE DOWN

Limit access to sensitive information to only those who need it. This helps reduce the risk of an insider attack or hacker loss. Pro tip: Use the principle of least privilege. Provide new accounts with the lowest level of access to sensitive data and increase the privileges as the account grows in seniority or the job requirement increases.

It is locked. IT

Passwords must be secure, complex and unique. Easy-to-guess passwords can be hacked, and used for unauthorised access in a matter of seconds. Don’t send passwords by emails in plain text. You should also secure all files that contain sensitive or private information.
