The opportunity
As cloud tools and payment integrations grow, one compromised account can affect operations quickly. Inventory critical systems, remove unused accounts and enable multifactor authentication for administrators.
How to approach it
Back up important data and test restoration. Update software, review permissions and separate everyday accounts from privileged ones. Teach staff to verify unusual payment requests through a second channel.
What to measure next
Prepare a short incident plan identifying responders, containment steps and communication responsibilities. Ghana’s Cyber Security Authority provides local guidance. Revisit the plan when products or partners change.
