Scammers look through LinkedIn for new employees and people who work in finance, payroll and IT.

A new-job post gives them a person's name and role. A job ad may reveal which software the company uses. Project updates can disclose client names, suppliers and travel plans.

That information can be used in fake messages pretending to come from a manager, coworker or supplier.

Ask staff not to post screenshots, staff badges, unannounced client names, supplier changes or travel plans before or during a trip.

Search for your company's name and review what its employees, job ads and public posts reveal.

Before allowing an AI meeting assistant to join a client or staff call, check what it will record and where the information will go.

The assistant may record the audio, create a written transcript, produce a summary and store those files in the provider's online account.

Those files may contain contracts, customer information, employee discussions or other confidential details.

Decide which meeting assistants staff may use, which meetings they may join, where recordings and transcripts are stored, who can access them and how long they're kept.

Tell everyone on the call before recording or transcribing the conversation.

A potential customer may ask you to complete a security questionnaire before signing a contract.

The questions may cover multi-factor authentication, encryption, backups, staff training, incident response and how you control access to customer information.

Keep your current policies, insurance documents, recent test results and other supporting evidence in one folder.

Don't guess or say a security measure is in place when it isn't. Record what's missing, who will fix it and when the work should be completed.

Do you know which laptops, phones, tablets and network devices your company owns, and who has each one?

Your inventory should record:

âś… The device type, manufacturer, model and serial number.
âś… The employee or location assigned to the device.
âś… The purchase date, warranty and planned replacement date.
âś… Whether encryption is enabled and whether the company can lock or erase the device remotely.
âś… Whether the device is in use, being repaired, stored or retired.

Update the inventory whenever equipment is issued, returned, replaced or disposed of.

We can help you build an inventory and spot any devices that are missing, unsupported or due for replacement.

Some free VPNs make money by letting other people send traffic through your internet connection.

Google recently took down a large network that used devices running apps advertised as free VPNs.

While the VPN worked, the app also let other customers' internet traffic pass through the device.

On a work laptop, that traffic would appear to come from your company's public IP address. Your IP could be blocked because of activity nobody in the business carried out.

Google also found that some of this software could expose other devices on the same network.

Check which VPNs and browser extensions are installed on company devices. Staff should use the VPN provided by the business, not one they found online because it was free.

After you allow a website or app to use your camera or microphone, that permission can stay in place until you remove it.

On Windows, a camera light or notification appears when the camera is active. A microphone icon appears in the taskbar when an app is using the microphone.

Review these permissions under Privacy & security in Windows Settings. Check your browser's website permissions too.

Remove access from websites and apps that no longer need it.

We can review camera and microphone permissions across your company computers and remove access that's no longer needed.

Never change an employee's payroll bank account using email alone.

An attacker who gets into an employee's mailbox can send the request from their real email address. A scammer can also create a similar address and copy the employee's name.

Before updating the bank details, call the employee on the phone number already stored in your HR records, or speak to them in person. Don't use a phone number provided in the email.

Require a second person to approve the change and record how the request was verified.

A calendar invitation can be a phishing message.

The invitation may contain a link to a fake video meeting, invoice, shared document or login page. It can also use the name of a company or person you recognise.

Check the organiser's full email address before opening anything in an unexpected invitation. Confirm the meeting with the sender using contact details you already have.

Review whether your calendar automatically adds invitations from unknown senders. Report suspicious invitations through your email or calendar service.

Signing into Chrome or Edge with a personal account on a work computer can copy business information into that personal account.

Depending on the sync settings, this may include bookmarks, browsing history, open tabs and saved passwords.

Use a separate browser profile connected to a work account controlled by your company. Keep business passwords and browsing information out of personal accounts.

Check company computers for personal browser profiles, especially when staff use the same device for personal and business activity.

Could your business still answer calls, take payments and access its online systems if the office internet stopped working?

A backup connection can use a second broadband provider or a 4G or 5G mobile connection. Your router can be configured to switch to the backup when the main connection fails.

The backup may only need to support essential work rather than every device in the building.

Test it at a time when a brief interruption won't affect customers. Disconnect the main service and check your phones, payment terminals, remote access and important online services.

No backup internet, or unsure whether your current setup works? Book a call to see how we can help with this 👉 [email protected]/s/7jbeKx9of0au08Ir4AXrIw2" rel="ugc" target="_blank">https://bookings.cloud.microsoft/book/[email protected]/s/7jbeKx9of0au08Ir4AXrIw2
