PROTECTING YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS • REQUIRE STRONG PASSWORDS FOR ACCOUNTS Keeping your ecommerce store secure is a must. Not only is it an important source of income for your business, but it also contains sensitive customer information, such as billing details and credit card numbers. Set a minimum password length, but keep it shorter for customers than store managers (about eight characters). Require multiple character types, with special characters reserved for store manager passwords. Implement an expiration policy, but don’t pester customers with password reset notifications more than twice a year. Disallow password reuse within certain time frames, extending that period for store managers while keeping it shorter for customers. RANSOM SHIELD
