Background of Personal Data Protection
In today’s digital era, personal data is a highly valuable asset. This includes information such as names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, identity numbers, and financial details. With the advancement of technology, personal data often becomes a target for irresponsible parties. Therefore, personal data protection is crucial for maintaining individual privacy and security.
Indonesia has acknowledged the importance of personal data protection by enacting Law No. 27 of 2022 on Pelindungan Data Pribadi (UU PDP). Through this legislation, it is hoped that the public will become more aware of the need to protect personal data and be more cautious when sharing personal information.
Mandiri Sekuritas is certified with ISO/IEC 27001:2013 for its Information Security Management System (ISO ISMS) and adopts the latest technology to ensure customer data security. These data security measures are designed to protect personal information from cyber threats and ensure that customer data remains safe and confidential. However, alongside Mandiri Sekuritas' efforts, customers should also take proactive steps to protect their own personal data.
Steps Customers Can Take to Protect Personal Data
There are several steps you can take to protect your personal data.
- Use a Strong Password
A strong password is your first line of defense in protecting your online accounts. A strong password typically consists of a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easy-to-guess passwords like "password," "123456," or your date of birth. Instead, create a long, unique phrase that only you know. Additionally, avoid using the same password across multiple accounts. If one of your accounts is compromised, all accounts with the same password may be at risk. Consider using a password manager to help you manage and remember strong, unique passwords for each account. Always remember to change your passwords regularly.
- Beware of Phishing
Phishing is an attempt to obtain your personal information by posing as a person or entity you know or trust. Phishing scams often come in the form of emails or text messages that appear to be from familiar contacts, banks, credit card companies, or other online services. These messages typically contain links that direct you to fake websites or apps designed to steal your personal information. Always check the sender's email address and verify the sender’s identity. Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. If you receive a suspicious email or message, contact the company directly through authorized channels to verify its authenticity.
- Use Secure Wi-Fi Network
Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for transactions involving personal or financial information. Public Wi-Fi networks are often unencrypted, making it easy for hackers to access data transmitted over the network. If you need to access sensitive information while on public Wi-Fi, consider switching to your private network (tethering or hotspot from your own device) or using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN encrypts your internet connection, making it more difficult for hackers to access your data.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to enter a verification code in addition to your password when logging into your account. This verification code is typically sent to your phone via SMS or generated by an authentication app. With 2FA enabled, even if someone manages to obtain your password, they will still need the verification code to access your account. This greatly enhances your account security against hacking attempts. Be sure to enable 2FA on all accounts that support this feature, especially those containing personal or financial information.
- Be Careful When Sharing Personal Data
Avoid sharing sensitive personal information on social media or other unsecured platforms. Details such as your email address, date of birth, home address, phone number, or financial information should not be shared publicly. Hackers or cybercriminals often use information found on social media or the public internet to conduct phishing attacks or identity theft. Always review the privacy settings on your social media accounts and limit who can see your personal information. Additionally, be cautious of apps or websites that request access to your personal data. Ensure the app or website is trustworthy before granting access permissions.
