Document security is not something you can take lightly--but you also shouldn't be constantly stressing out about it. Instead, try these three simple document security tips to protect what matters and give you peace of mind.
Somewhere to Start
The thing about document security is that there's so much to cover--mobile phones, network protection, passwords, online habits, and more. It's easy to get overwhelmed, especially if you aren't sure where to start. That's why it's sometimes a good idea to slow down and take a look at the essentials--simple, stress-free tips that help you take the first few steps and set up an actionable plan. Once you get started, it's much easier to stay in the document security mindset.
Here are three tips you can try out right now!
- Tip #1: Strengthen your passwords
Passwords are a simple but important part of document security. There are a few easy ways to make passwords stronger--change them regularly, make sure they're long and complex, and don't leave them lying around anywhere. It's also best to use "nonsense" words instead of something that can be easily guessed, like names or dates.
- Tip #2: Rely on user authentication
User authentication is another great way to keep your documents protected without interrupting day-to-day efficiency. This way, only the right people will have permission to view or edit sensitive documents--and you'll always have a record of who is accessing what.
- Tip #3: Location control
Certain tools allow you to lock documents by location--meaning that the file can only be accessed when you're, say, at the office. This helps limit the risk of documents walking away in the wrong hands or accidentally getting lost.
