In today's digital age, social media has become a vital tool for businesses to reach and engage with customers. However, with the increasing number of personal and business data shared on social media platforms, business owners must protect their data and maintain their privacy.

In our latest blog post, founder Adele Slater shares top tips for keeping your business safe on social media.

Use strong passwords

A strong password is difficult for others to guess. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters to create a unique and secure password.

Use two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account. Before you can log in, the app requires a second verification method, such as a text message, code, or fingerprint.

Log out of all unused devices

A common misperception is that clearing your cache will log you out of your social media and messaging accounts, but it doesn’t. Ensure you log out of all accounts before leaving a public computer or handing back any old work devices.

Regularly review your account

When it comes to social media security, one of the biggest things that businesses overlook is who has access to their account. Make sure that you have a process in place to remove old staff members or contractors as soon as they stop working with you.

Think before you click

Be cautious when opening links or downloading attachments from an unknown source. Cybercriminals often use social media to spread malware and phishing scams.

Invest in cybersecurity software

Use reputable security software to protect your computer and mobile devices from malware and other cyber threats.
