Advice on eliminating unauthorised access to patron data

Keeping your business safe online

  • Ensure that all Hostel employees have their own log on for different computer systems
  • Ensure that admin or privileged access is only granted to relevant personnel
  • Regularly rotate passwords to shared accounts if they are used (preferably do not use shared credentials), especially accounts that are available from outside the hostel (Gmail, SaaS etc)
  • Regularly run virus scans on your computer
  • If possible do not keep the hostel computers on the same computer network as the Guest WiFi
  • Configure and maintain a local firewall to protect the hostel computers from unauthorised access
