Importance of security in account access and data confidentiality
The data security and confidentiality begin within the company, where everyone needs to understand the importance of creating strategies to protect account access, as well as the protection of their data.
Therefore, data confidentiality and security are essential for your business, as it conveys trust to your customers and the assurance that their data is safe and protected. Thus, through good practices, it is possible to protect your customers' valuable and confidential information, and allows your company to comply with regulations, given the importance of LGPD (General Data Protection Law).
The best practices for account security and data confidentiality involve hiring a reliable hosting provider, using the HTTPS protocol, choosing a secure and reliable payment processor, and obtaining a secure checkout.
In addition, user access control further reinforces the security of data and systems, including strong authentication, individual users, well-defined roles, and audit logs.

Security tips for your Guru account
At Guru, we value the security of your account and your data, so we've brought some tips that will ensure protection for your account.
-
Strong Password - with many uppercase, lowercase letters and special characters;
-
Unique Password - do not use the same password on different platforms;
-
Well-kept password - never write down the password in easily accessible places (e.g., notepad on PC, notebook or diary);
-
DO not share passwords - each team member must have their own username and password. The user should never share the password with another person;
-
Two-factor authentication (2FA) - this step is mandatory at Guru because it reinforces security, since the intruder would have to obtain username and password, in addition to having access to the individual's mobile device;
-
Users with well-defined roles - very few people should be account administrators. The correct approach is for each user to be associated with a role that only allows access to the data and functionalities necessary for their daily tasks. This helps prevent errors and ensures the confidentiality of sensitive company data (e.g., billing, integration keys with the payment processor, or even customer data).
With these tips, security will be reinforced, making it difficult for intruders who want to access your account.
