Be proactive about the security of your QuickBooks company file, and you'll be less likely to encounter data theft. Thanks to the internet, privacy has been on the wane over the last few years. We assume that our addresses and phone numbers are public information, thanks to sites like Switchboard and 411.com. We hope that our dates of birth are private (though the number of birthday wishes on Facebook makes that doubtful), and we assume that our Social Security numbers are hard to get. Your customers trust you enough to provide you with additional private information, like credit card numbers. And you've seen what an uproar occurs when major corporate entities like Target and Home Depot get hacked. Your small business may not have hundreds of thousands of customer information files, but you can still be targeted by external hackers and even your own employees. Are you taking measures to ensure the security of that data stored on your hard drive and/or in the cloud? |
