How to ensure information security in your scheduling system?

It is no secret that information security is a relevant topic for companies. After all, software attacks can cause major damage to operations. In Brazil, cyberattack cases rose 70% in the last year – 83% of the companies that went through this had to pay a ransom for their data, according to a survey by Sophos.

In addition to hacker attacks, there are also phishing and spam actions sent via email and messaging apps which, when opened, can cause damage. Weak passwords and so-called social engineering, where manipulation is used to exploit human errors, put operations at risk. Looking at this entire context, you, the retailer, must have asked yourself: is it possible to automate my delivery scheduling process without risks?

In this post, we highlight some precautions to ensure information security in your delivery scheduling system. Check it out!

Risk Assessment

The first step to ensure information security is to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment. This involves identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities in your operational systems and also preparing your team with continuous training. Another important step is counting on the support of the Tempo Certo team to ensure the best guidance and support for your day-to-day operation.

Some practical actions for the daily routine of your business, aimed at information security, are:

• Information asset mapping: Identify all critical information assets and evaluate their value and vulnerability.

• Vulnerability analysis: Use vulnerability analysis tools to identify system flaws.

• Impact assessment: Evaluate the potential impact of a data breach on your business and customers.

Traceability and Information Security

Your scheduling system needs to be transparent, featuring a history of platform movements. At Tempo Certo, for example, there is data traceability, access levels and permissions, and the guarantee that it is possible to verify who performed a certain activity in the system.

This makes it much easier to keep data up-to-date and have a reliable history to fully understand bottlenecks or points for improvement in the operation.

Constant Updates

Continuous improvements are essential for a scheduling system to be secure. Whether in the development of new features or in the improvement of processes for better traceability, having a system that is constantly updated is fundamental. At Tempo Certo, we work daily to optimize technology and guarantee total security in accessing and protecting your company's data.

Training and Awareness

The human factor is often the weakest link in information security. Investing in training and awareness for your team can help mitigate this risk, ensuring everyone understands the importance of security and how to contribute to it.

Ensuring information security in delivery scheduling systems is a complex challenge without proper support. Therefore, it is essential to have a team of specialists and choose a tool already designed to provide traceability to the company.

Furthermore, by adopting a proactive and comprehensive approach that includes risk assessment, encryption, authentication, updates, training, and monitoring, you can significantly minimize the risk of data breaches.

Information security is a continuous investment that requires constant attention and adaptation to new threats. By prioritizing the hiring of platforms that guarantee data, access, and storage security, you not only protect your business but also strengthen the trust of your stakeholders.
