I’m concerned about sharing my information with a virtual assistant. What can I do to ensure that my information is secure?
While there are always risks in business that your information might be compromised as there are numerous hackers and untrustworthy people in this world. A virtual assistant is very much attuned to this fact, and have put into place systems, processes, and agreements to ensure that your information is treated as their very own and kept out of harm’s way.
A virtual assistant business will utilize tools to bar against harmful attacks to their computer systems. At Rhonda’s Virtual Office we use Norton’s software to protect against all types of computer attacks, and have had great success with it. We also utilize the use of two firewalls: one is the standard firewall that comes with the Windows software, and the other one is provided in our Norton software.
Another concern clients often have is that the virtual assistant is trustworthy. At Rhonda’s Virtual Office we have a standard NDA (non-disclosure agreement) that we sign with every client and with every member of our team. This provides additional insurance that your information will not be shared or used inappropriately.
As the client you should do your due diligence and check out your virtual assistant before contracting with them. Get references and check them. Utilize the internet and do a Google search to see what you can find out about them. Ask other sources for information. Oftentimes they will belong to groups or forums online and you can check those places for possible contacts to ask about this virtual assistant’s character.
At Rhonda’s Virtual Office we have readily available for you references to contact. We also welcome you to research and learn as much about
us as you can, and we are of course always open to answer any of your questions or address any of your concerns in regards to your information’s security.
Have your own NDA you would like signed. No problem. We will review your NDA and assuming there is nothing sketchy in there we will gladly sign yours.
