Guide to Information Security Checklist: |
 |
Cross-shred or use a disposal company |
All documents with sensitive customer or company information should be disposed of carefully. Never leave these documents in plain sight in a dumpster or waste basket. |
|
Use a secured mailbox or P.O. Box |
This makes it much harder for anyone to get information from your mail. |
|
Keep your private records in locked cabinets |
Lock up business, customer and employee records to protect their privacy and help protect against identity theft. |
|
Take steps to help prevent cyber theft |
Put up a firewall and regularly update passwords and anti-virus software. |
|
Make backups of all vital information |
When possible, don’t keep sensitive files and information on a computer that connects to the Internet. Use removable media to store this information and make frequent backups that are kept in a locked area with controlled access. |
