In my experience, mistakes happen when employees don't understand what's confidential. I make sure my team knows what info is sensitive and how to handle it. We have regular training sessions on social media best practices and confidentiality agreements. This way, everyone's on the same page and knows what's expected of them. It's like I always say, "Knowledge is power, but only if shared!" By educating my team, I prevent costly mistakes and protect our clients' trust.

A proper off-boarding system needs to be in place to avoid such instances. Thorough checks, frequent updation of passwords and having a robust security system will help prevent any information leaks. Use tools like LastPass or Norton Password Manager will help. The second option combined with their anti-virus and privacy solutions is your best bet.
