Minimise the risks to your online privacy:
- Data encryption and cryptography – When sending confidential data, check recipients and use file encryption techniques (zip files and anonymising of pdf files) or use a special channel.
- Monitoring of safeguards implemented – Test, measure and evaluate the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures regularly to ensure the security of data processing.
- Dealing with security incidents – Develop incident response plans (incident prevention, detection and response and lessons learned) ensuring business continuity and crisis management.
- Secure passwords –Use strong passwords with various characters, different for each website, additionally invest in the use of password managers and use two-factor authentication wherever possible.
- Updates – Update your system and software regularly to protect yourself from new forms of cyber-attacks.
- Wi-Fi network – Secure your Wi-Fi network and do not use public wireless networks.
- Using the Internet with caution – Do not access suspicious websites and do not download illegal files.

Ensure security in the acquisition, development and maintenance of networks and IT systems (including handling and disclosure of vulnerabilities).
- Safeguards against phishing –Use the principle of limited trust – verify the sender and links before clicking, check the URL of websites, be careful of shortened links, do not share logins and passwords, always check suspicious messages.
