Ensuring the security of your organisation’s devices and data is more important than ever, and one of the simplest yet most effective measures is using standard-level user accounts on PCs instead of administrator accounts for everyday tasks.
This practice limits the potential damage from cyberattacks or accidental changes to critical system settings, as standard accounts only have access to what they truly need.
Beyond its practicality, using standard accounts is a key requirement of the Cyber Essentials framework, a government-backed certification designed to protect organisations against common cyber threats.
Meeting this requirement not only strengthens your security posture but also helps demonstrate your commitment to safeguarding sensitive information.
