1 Choose a reliable CRM provider

The first step to securing your CRM software and data is to choose a reputable and trustworthy CRM provider. You want a provider that offers robust security features, such as encryption, firewall, backup, and recovery. You also want a provider that complies with the relevant data protection laws and regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA. You can check the provider's website, reviews, and testimonials to learn more about their security standards and policies.

2 Use complex and unique passwords

Creating strong passwords for your CRM accounts is the next step to ensure your sensitive information is safe from hackers. When creating your CRM passwords, aim for at least 12 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Additionally, avoid using common words, names, dates, or phrases found in a dictionary or online. It's important to not reuse the same password for different accounts or platforms and to change your password regularly - at least every 90 days. Most importantly, don't write down or share your password with anyone.

3 Use a password manager

If you have difficulty remembering or managing your CRM passwords, a password manager can be an invaluable asset. This software or app stores and generates passwords, encrypting them and keeping them in a secure vault accessible only to you. Moreover, you can sync your passwords across different devices and browsers. Benefits of using a password manager include not having to memorize or type your passwords each time you log in to your CRM, as well as being able to create and use complex and unique passwords for each account. Furthermore, it can protect your passwords from phishing, keylogging, or hacking attacks.

4 Enable multi-factor authentication

Another way to enhance your CRM security is to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your accounts. MFA is a process that requires you to verify your identity with more than one factor before you can access your CRM. For example, you may need to enter a code sent to your phone or email, scan your fingerprint, or use a physical token. MFA adds an extra layer of protection to your passwords, making it harder for hackers to break into your CRM.

To strengthen your CRM security, enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). It adds an extra layer of protection by requiring more than one verification method, such as codes, biometrics, or physical tokens. This way, even if a hacker gets your password, they'll face additional security measures, making it harder to access your CRM. Implementing MFA is crucial for safeguarding your data and maintaining its confidentiality.

5 Educate yourself and your team

Finally, it is important to educate yourself and your team about the importance and best practices of creating and managing CRM passwords. Establishing and enforcing a clear and consistent password policy is essential for protecting your CRM software and data from unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks. This policy should cover topics such as how to create and change passwords, how to use a password manager and MFA, how to report and respond to suspicious or compromised passwords, and how to avoid phishing, malware, or social engineering attacks. By following these best practices, you can improve your sales coordination, customer service, and revenue growth.

Este é um tema que precisa de mais aten??o dentro da área. Muitos vendedores n?o compreendem a importancia da prote??o dos dados dos prospects trabalhados. O foco na educa??o da equipe precisa de muita aten??o e durante esta educa??o, é importante explicar sobre as implicancias que a falta de cuidado com as senhas pode trazer, caso haja vazamentos de dados. Treinamento da LGPD e testes periódicos s?o bastante válidos. Um exemplo de teste é enviar emails de phishing para o time, com bot?es rastreáveis, para identificar quantos colaboradores clicam. E dependendo da quantidade, voltar a fazer treinamentos a respeito do assunto.

Para proteger tu CRM, usa contrase?as largas y únicas, combinando letras, números y símbolos. Implementa autenticación multifactor (MFA) para a?adir una capa extra de seguridad. Cambia las contrase?as regularmente y evita reutilizarlas en otros sistemas. Además, considera un gestor de contrase?as para almacenar credenciales de forma segura. Capacita a tu equipo en buenas prácticas y monitorea accesos sospechosos. ?La seguridad comienza con hábitos sólidos!
