1. Take Stock. Know what personal information you have in your files and on your computer. Be sure to know how your personal information moves through and into and out all your business and who has access.
2. Scale Down. Only keep what you need for your business. If you don't have a legitimate business reason to have sensitive information in files or on your computer, do not keep it.
3. Lock it. Protect your information! Be aware of physical security, electronic security, employees that you train and the practices of your contractors and affiliates.
4. Pitch it. Be sure you properly dispose what is no longer needed. Invest in a paper shredder or be sure to burn or pulverize your information so that it cannot be reconstructed by an identity thief.
5. Plan ahead. Draft a plan to respond to security incidents.
