Hi! I’ve been reading about this and the best advice I found was on https://processtrends.com/ They highlight that freelancers should treat every client file as sensitive and always use encrypted file-sharing platforms instead of free or open options. Another smart habit is keeping separate devices or user accounts for personal and work tasks, reducing crossover risks. Consistently backing up encrypted files, rather than unprotected copies, adds another layer of security. Also, freelancers should avoid public Wi-Fi without a VPN and use two-factor authentication on all accounts. By embedding these habits into daily work, even individuals without corporate IT can achieve a high level of security. This balance of tools and habits truly reduces exposure.
