Working across several clients.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT
You hold access to other people's systems.
That makes you a route into them.
WHAT THAT MEANS
Your security affects your clients, and they increasingly ask about it.
WHAT TO DO
Separate credentials for every client Never reuse passwords across clients A password manager, without exception A second step everywhere
WHAT NOT TO DO
Use one login for several clients Keep client data mixed together Retain access after work ends
THAT LAST POINT
Ask clients to remove your access when you finish.
It protects you as much as them.
WHAT TO KEEP SEPARATE
Client data, by client Your own business data
WHAT TO ESTABLISH IN WRITING
What access you hold What you may do with client information What happens to it when the engagement ends
WHAT TO PREPARE
Honest answers to client security questions.
WHAT TO PROTECT MOST
Your own email and devices, since they reach everything.
