Protecting customers From Identity Theft

We at Gorgeous Garments are very aware of the dangers of identity theft and we plan to protect our customers from it. As a result of about 50% of our customers falling into the age range of people more prone to identity theft, we have developed a program teaching how to avoid identity theft via Email.

In the course of this program, we will encourage customers to use credit cards instead of debit cards. We will also encourage them to keep their credit cards and social security numbers very securely. Customers will also be encouraged to check their credit regularly.

As a company will also do our part to protect our customers by keeping files very securely. The company will also dispose of replaced computers properly and most especially shred replaced hard drives in order to avoid customer details getting into the wrong hands.

  1. Security is unquestionably an important component of any business. You do a nice job linking this back to the hardware lecture. Have you thought about the extent to which reputation is important to business? If a business is unable to secure their data, it is likely the case that customers will be hesitant to utilize their services. If the context of other online clothing retailers, what steps have they taken to secure their customers' data? Why or why have they not been successful doing so?
