When it comes to a new year, a lot of maintenance managers may have things on their list to do that is different than they usually do – much like their New Year's Resolutions.
One thing to keep in mind if you have any type of data management is to change your passwords if you don't do it on a regular basis.
Hackers
Throughout the year, employees may come and go and even if you have the same staff, there are always hackers. You may not think that you have anything in particular you need to hide from anyone but even if you don't do your banking online at the shop, and most of us do, you may have a list of your inventory available, employee records, or other important and sensitive information about your company that you don't want to fall into the wrong hands. In fact, a recent article from Bloomburg Businessweek states that:
“The difference now is that companies are more vulnerable to technology. The FBI reports an increase in investigations related to disgruntled current and former employees who destroy data or steal customer information and proprietary software. Some use the data to gain a competitive edge in their next job. There are even cases of former employees attempting to extort money by holding company websites hostage.”
Keep Passwords Safe
Your passwords should actually be changed throughout the year but if you don't stay on top of them, at least change them at the new year so you can be a little more safe when it comes to your workplace data security.
One good thing, and there are many, about investing in Computerized Maintenance Management Software is that you can access everything in the browser and reports and more with who you choose. Since there is no central computer that has to be used for your employees to sign in and out for their work orders, your data stays safer and the work order tasks go to them remotely which saves time as well.
