QuickBooks company files contain sensitive business and customer information. File corruption or unauthorized access puts this data at risk. QuickBooks File Doctor has robust security protections to keep your files safe.
The Need for Company File Security
QB company files include:
- Customer details and transaction history
- Employee payroll and personal data
- Bank account and credit card numbers
- Invoices, bills, and account balances
This information is the lifeblood of a business. It can lead to identity theft, financial fraud, compliance penalties, and irreparable damage in the wrong hands.
Yet one in three small businesses report experiencing a breach or cyber attack. As hackers grow more sophisticated, prioritizing file security is essential.
How File Corruption Compromises Security
Damaged or corrupted company files are more vulnerable to unauthorized access and data leaks. Errors open technical backdoors for attackers to exploit. Corrupted components like customer name lists also expose data.
With proper repairs, breached information can be sold on the dark web. QuickBooks File Doctor fixes corruption issues to close security gaps.
Diagnosing Security Risks
File Doctor scans thoroughly evaluate privileges and permissions settings in company files.
The diagnostics check for improper access that allows viewing, editing, or deleting confidential data. They also detect corruptions that inadvertently allow access.
You can take corrective actions to lock down security by identifying misconfigurations and gaps.
Repairing File Access Controls
QuickBooks File Doctor can reset security settings to necessary minimums if improper user privileges are found. The repair process removes unnecessary permissions that pose risks. It also fixes technical issues that erroneously grant access.
With tightened need-to-know controls, exposure to confidential data is limited.
Fixing Multi-User Login Issues
For company files used by multiple employees, File Doctor further hardens security.
It diagnoses and fixes login issues that could allow unauthorized third-party access. Proper multi-user restrictions are restored.
Repairs also resolve access conflicts between users that lead to data leakage.
Maintaining Data Integrity
