While Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions offer great convenience, it is imperative to remember that the responsibility of protecting your data lies solely with you.

Here’s how you can get started:

• KEEP DATA SAFE WITH ENCRYPTION – Strong encryption ensures your cloud data remains secure.

• MAKE A CLEAR SET OF RULES – Establish a clear set of rules that define who can access data, how it’s used and where it’s stored.

• SET UP ACCESS CONTROLS – Implement steps like multifactor authentication and giving access based on job roles.

• CARRY OUT REGULAR SECURITY CHECKS – Conduct security assessments to find and fix any issues in your cloud applications.

• TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEES – Regularly train your employees on data and security best practices.

• BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING – A comprehensive backup and recovery plan ensures your cloud data is always protected.
