How do I protect business data during a handover?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

Identify relevant records, lawful access, retention duties, and the systems holding them. Transfer necessary information through secure approved methods and remove obsolete access through the proper process. Guest privacy and platform rules still apply.

Avoid broad credential sharing as a shortcut. The handover should preserve operational continuity without copying unnecessary personal information or leaving former providers with ongoing permissions.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
