How to keep good business records for your limited company
Keeping good business records is not just about meeting tax and legal requirements. It's also key to help your business grow profits and stay efficient.
Enterprise Resource Planning, or ERP, software gathers real-time data from across your business. Inventory, order management, supply chain, accounting, finance, procurement, HR and customer data is all kept in one central location.
Packed with every detail of your business’s critical day-to-day operations, ERP software helps you make smarter business decisions.
But all that information in one place also creates a security risk. Keeping your data safe and protecting your ERP security are vital for compliance and effective business performance.
Train and regularly retrain your staff, so user errors don’t create security risks.
Manufacturers build fixes to tackle known vulnerabilities so run regular software updates to include them.
Ensure passwords are changed often and only give staff access to edit the data they need.
Be aware of changes in privacy laws and legislation, so your data storage remains compliant.
Choose an ERP system that offers all the functionality you need so data isn’t regularly transferred to external software.
