The old saying “prevention is better than cure” certainly applies to data privacy. A small piece harmful code posted on your website can cause huge damage. From pop-ups to a complete system breach, or even the theft of a password or session. You should mention in your data security policies how often and by whom you are able to check your system for malicious code, and what protections exist to minimize the risk.
Update your software or scripts which you use on your site regularly. Hackers are targeting security holes within popular web software, and a lack timely updates exposes your system to. It is also recommended to restrict access to databases or networks to the minimum number of users required to do their duties.
Create a plan of action to address potential breaches, and assign an employee to oversee the procedure. Depending on the nature of your business, you might need to notify the law enforcement, consumers, customers and credit bureaus. This is an important step that should be planned for well in advance.
Implement strong password requirements on consumer accounts. Make sure you have a good method for storing passwords, including the use of lower and uppercase numerals, letters and special characters, or using salt and slow hash functions. Avoid the unnecessary storage of confidential user data, and when you do, reduce the risk by encryption the data or eliminating it after a certain amount of time.
