If you are a big organization, it’s more than likely that you have a social media presence.
Social media is a great tool to get you closer to your customers, know what they think about your products, and finetune your service offerings.
But, there are also downsides to using social media. The most important one is the security risks associated with personal accounts. Many social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn require you to have a personal account before creating a business page.
But, when employees end up creating a business page through their personal account, you need to ensure that your sensitive business data remains safe.
Today MyTek, a Phoenix tech services firm, gives you the tips and tricks to safeguard your business page from personal accounts, especially those of your employees.
Tips to Protect Your Facebook Page
First, go ahead and create a Facebook account if you do not have one. Then, find the create menu on the top right-hand corner of the app. Click on the page to build your business page. Enter all the essential details of your page.
To protect your personal information on Facebook, ensure that you follow the below-mentioned steps:
- Click on the top right-most dropdown arrow.
- Select the settings and privacy menu.
- Then navigate to the privacy menu.
- In the menu How people can find and contact you, click on Friends of Friends for Who can send you friend requests.
- Apply the same option for who can look you up using the phone number provided.
- Do not select the option Do you want search engines outside of Facebook to link to your profile.
- Under the Timeline and Tagging option, change the who can post on your timeline menu to only me.
By putting in place these settings, you ensure that only your Facebook friends can see your personal information.
Strategies to Safeguard Your LinkedIn Page
Like Facebook, LinkedIn also requires you to create an account before making a business page. Under the topmost right dropdown menu of Work, select the create a company page option. Then enter the basic details of your business.
For protecting your account, you can navigate to the settings and privacy option. Under the privacy menu, you can choose to change the settings of browsing in private mode, who can see your past posts, and more.
