Whether your business runs over mobile internet or a giant, stationary processor, it’s your responsibility to keep your clients’ information safe. When you’re training your staff on digital safety be sure to mention the following:

Never Ask for Passwords: It should be your company policy to never ask for passwords to your website. That way if people are being scammed they’ll know it and you won’t have to encounter any liability issues in the event of unauthorized activity.

Treat Credit Card Numbers Like Socials: If there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s how vulnerable credit cards can be online – get a security seal for your site and invest in some great bank processing services to ensure your customers’ information is safe.

Have Regular Checks: There’s nothing that can replace regular security checks for your business website and they should be conducted by an independent contractor or company and be exhaustive – getting an A-okay report isn’t detailed enough for what you need so ask the reviewer to be ruthless and critical as it will help you in the long run.
