These follow standard SaaS security guidelines and are easy to implement within restaurant operations. **1. Account Security & Access Control** • Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on all EatApp user accounts. • Use strong, unique passwords for all staff logins. • Reset all EatApp passwords after any suspicious activity. • Remove or deactivate old or unused staff accounts. • Ensure each staff member has an individual login—avoid shared accounts. **2. Internal Credential Management** • Never reuse passwords across email, POS, EatApp, or other systems. • Store passwords in a secure password manager (e.g., 1Password, LastPass). • Avoid sharing passwords through email, WhatsApp, or SMS. • Immediately change passwords when an employee leaves or changes roles. **3. Email Security** • Enable 2FA on your email provider (Gmail, Outlook, etc.). • Review access to shared inboxes such as accounts@… regularly. • Train staff to identify phishing attempts and avoid clicking unknown links. • Do not forward suspicious messages without IT or management review.   **4. Device & Network Hygiene** • Keep devices updated with the latest software and security patches. • Use antivirus or malware protection on devices accessing EatApp. • Require screen lock passwords on all staff devices. • Avoid logging in to EatApp from public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks. **5. User Activity Monitoring** • Periodically review user activity logs and active sessions. • Regularly audit the list of users with access to EatApp modules. • Immediately report any unusual login patterns or unknown devices. **6. Internal Security Processes** • Designate an internal security point-of-contact (manager or IT staff). • Maintain a simple internal escalation checklist for suspicious activity. • Document all staff who have access to CRM or Marketing tools. • Conduct quarterly access reviews across all systems. **7. Marketing/CRM Permissions** • Limit CRM and marketing access to authorized staff only. • Review saved templates and marketing permissions regularly. • Remove “send” permissions for users who do not require them. **8. Incident Preparedness** • Maintain updated contact information for EatApp support and IT providers. • Ensure team members know how to quickly disable a compromised user. • Perform a credential hygiene review every 90 days.
