How to Share and Edit Your Data Safely

When dealing with sensitive information, it is crucial to share your files in a safe manner. First, make sure you only share with people the information they need access to. This will lower the chance that a substantial portion of your data falls into the incorrect hands in the event of a breach. Additionally, you should use devices that prevent unauthorised editing of files. You can use programs to encryption files when working with another person using an Excel spreadsheet. This protects the file from accidental or malicious changes and ensures that the data is accurate.

It’s also a good idea to watermark your files which provides an additional layer of security. It also lets you track who is using your files. You can also add a date of expiration to download links and then deactivate access after a specified period. This will keep hackers out or even employees without authorization from keeping personal information longer than they are required to do so by company guidelines. If you no longer need a file, develop an instruction manual that guides your staff on how to write it multiple times (like shredding the document digitally and degaussing) to ensure it’s not likely to be resurrected in the future.

Whether it’s research data, student information, or your meticulously designed spreadsheets and documents the information you store on your devices is extremely valuable. If you make a mistake, your sensitive data could be thrown out to anyone to take advantage of, causing financial damages or damage to your reputation.
