U.S. Small Business Administration Protecting Customers Personal Information

Trust is an essential element of customer relationships. When it comes to internet security, your customers trust you to protect the personal information they share with you. You would never knowingly put them at risk, but lax computer security practices can do just that – jeopardize your customers’ sensitive information and expose them to threats. If your company has a website, communicates with customers via email, or stores customer information in an electronic database, you could be putting them at risk if you aren’t taking the right precautions.
