How to protect financial information
PURPOSE
Financial information can expose the organization to fraud, privacy issues, and business risk.
EXAMPLES
Bank details, invoices, payment instructions, payroll data, budgets, tax documents, card numbers, and financial reports may be sensitive.
GOOD HABITS
Verify recipients, use approved systems, limit exports, and double-check payment-related requests.
WATCH FOR FRAUD
Be cautious with urgent payment requests, changed bank details, and unusual invoice instructions.
BEST PRACTICE
Verify financial changes through a trusted separate channel.
