While the invention of the computer and digitized information has certainly made our lives easier, it has also presented certain challenges. For instance, what do you do to keep your data safe? Virtually anyone with an Internet connection is able to locate documents on another's computer, so you should take the required steps to make sure that anything they can access has no value. This means that you need to protect any document containing sensitive information.
For starters, you will want to keep your entire computer protected from those who would try to get into it. If someone stole your PC or laptop, what would the consequences be? Besides having access to your personal information they could also obtain sensitive work documents or personal information about your clients.
Those who run an office should consider setting an office-wide policy of protecting important information, as doing so will protect your company from liability should files or even a computer go missing or get stolen. Any clients you have will expect you to keep their information safe. In any MS Office 2007 program you can protect your document by doing the following:
In the top left-hand corner select the Office Button Mouse over Prepare, then choose Encrypt Document Type in your password and click Save
MS Office 2007 makes it very simple to password protect your documents through a few simple steps:
With your document open, go to File | Save As At the top of the Save As screen select Tools | General Options You will be presented with a Save Options screen Enter a password to open / password to modify or both and click OK You will be prompted to re-enter your password(s), click OK when done Save the file
To make sure that you can always access your important files you may need to write down your password somewhere safe, otherwise you may not be able to access a file when you need to.
As a second form of file protection you need to keep your files safe from computer problems. Imagine all of your most sacred files are lost due to a power outage or a problem with your hard drive. With a few clicks you can backup your files so that nothing should happen to them if your computer fails.
There are a few simple ways that you can back up your files, depending on whether you want to be responsible for the files or if you want to keep them somewhere else. Here are a few options:
1) CD-ROM: Nearly every computer comes with a CD drive, so make use of it by copying your important files to CD-ROM every once and a while. You will have to remember to copy your files, and keep the CD in a safe place where no one can get a hold of it, preferably fireproof as well.
2) Flash Drive: for a few dollars you can pick up a flash drive that is big enough to keep a copy of any files you may need. Best of all a flash drive is portable and can go anywhere you go, or squirreled away safely where someone cant find it.
3) Off Site Storage: this is a handy way to keep copies of your files somewhere safe and secure. Simply copy them to a secure folder and be on your way. Most companies will charge a minimal monthly fee for this service, which is worth it knowing that your files will never get lost in a fire or flood should something happen at home or the office. - 14915
