Steps You Should Be Taking to Protect Your Clients and Candidates (Insurance)

Our Flintstone days with huge filing cabinets filled with paper client folders are behind us! As nanny agency owners, we have a never-ending amount of documentation flooding our inboxes—CC authorization forms, contracts, family bio’s, etc. Where is your agency storing all of this info? If your answer is in an online database, this session is a must (and if you aren’t yet storing your information online, this session will inspire you to hop on the 21st century train). Kathryn Aquino will define what a data breach is, identify the four types of protected data, share five risk mitigation efforts every business can implement, and walk us through step-by-step on what to do during a cyber incident. This information is crucial for every business owner as she outlines how you can protect your clients, candidates, and most importantly—your business! Kathryn will talk about cyber insurance (Yes people!! Insurance for data!!), security features/software, and go over some pretty eye-opening statistics on beaches. Sneak Peak: 81% of beaches are caused by weak passwords! We call this a proactive session, because even if a data breach hasn’t happened to you (yet) it truly can happen to anyone without the right preventative measures!
