22 May Protocol for Cybersecurity for Clients
What is the protocol for an executive virtual assistant (EVA) when it comes to cybersecurity for clients?
At Ann Albrecht Consulting, ensuring the privacy and security of our clients is our top priority. Here are a few protocols and measures that we take to protect your clients’ data and information:
- Secure network: use internet connection that is secure, and avoid using public Wi-Fi networks that are vulnerable to hacking.
- Strong passwords: create strong, unique passwords for all of our client accounts, and avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
- Two-factor authentication: enable two-factor authentication for our client accounts whenever possible to add an extra layer of security.
- Keep software updated: we make sure that all software, including operating systems, applications, and plugins, is updated to the latest version to address known security vulnerabilities.
- Antivirus software: Install and regularly update antivirus software on all devices used to access client accounts.
- Encrypt sensitive data: Use encryption tools to protect sensitive data such as passwords, financial information, and personal identification details.
- Secure communication channels: Use secure communication channels such as encrypted email and messaging platforms to protect our client’s data when communicating with them.
- Vigilant against phishing scams: aware of phishing scams, which are fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information by posing as a trustworthy entity. Never clicking on links or opening attachments from unknown sources.
- Backup data: Regularly backup client data to prevent data loss in the event of a security breach or data loss.
By implementing these protocols and measures, Ann Albrecht Consulting help ensure the cybersecurity of our clients and protect their sensitive information from cyber threats.
Hiring an EVA can be daunting, and when you add the concerns surrounding data breaches into the equation, it is understandable some business owners are hesitant. However, taking security measures that we take at Ann Albrecht Consulting helps to give you peace of mind against cyberattacks.
