Remote contractors can be a valuable part of your business, but how do you minimise the risks inherent with remote or offsite work?

An FBI warning about North Korean IT workers obtaining remote jobs under false identities raises some interesting questions about who has access to your business information and how much control you really have.

There are some practical lessons for small business owners here:

➡️ Are your security measures limiting the damage if someone gains unauthorised access?
⚡ Could your contractors be using tools that put confidential business information at risk?
