In a world where personal data has become an invaluable commodity, protecting it is the top priority for businesses of all sizes. A single breach could expose customers to identity theft, as well as other financial damage and expose businesses to fines, reputational damage and even lawsuits. There are a variety of ways to secure personal data and stop hackers from gaining access to it.
TAKE STOCK
Review the amount of sensitive information your company stores in computer files and on servers, and make a plan to preserve it only the amount of time that is needed. This could involve taking inventory of devices that record information, like PIN pads and cameras for surveillance. It could also include the identification of connections between computers and external sources, like the internet, computers used to support your network by service providers, or digital copier.
SCALE DOWN
Limit access to sensitive information to only those who need access to it. This minimizes the risk of insider threats or losses from hackers. Pro tip: Follow the principle of least privilege by granting new accounts access to the lowest level to sensitive data. They can increase the privilege only as they advance in seniority or work-related necessity.
It is locked. IT
Passwords should be secure, complex and unique. Passwords that are easy to guess could be hacked and used to gain unauthorised access in a matter of seconds. Don’t send passwords by email in plain text. And secure all files that contain confidential or private data.
