How do you avoid data leaks in business?

Lately I’ve been reading about a lot of companies having leaks, and it makes me nervous. If you’re handling sensitive business files, how do you make sure they don’t get exposed?

I used to worry about that a lot too. At first, I thought just keeping files in a “private” folder was enough, but I quickly learned that wasn’t safe. Now, I take a layered approach: encryption, secure transfer, and strict access control. If one layer fails, another still protects the data. I found this approach explained clearly on https://www.akappleug.org/, and it completely changed how I think about file security. It’s not about adding extra hassle, it’s about peace of mind. Since adopting these habits, I haven’t had a single incident, and even compliance checks became easier. For me, avoiding leaks is about building good habits and sticking to them.
