Would you give your partner the password to your banking account but not your phone? Is laying all your codes on the table a sign of trust or a massive security risk? Should couples share passwords at all? While it can help to build trust with a partner, sharing your passwords isn&#8217;t always the best idea.<\/p><p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">We are asking some basic questions on a very touchy subject just to help keep your security tip top. Don&#8217;t worry \u2014 we&#8217;re not judging your loving relationship. We just believe in safety precautions no matter what, and you will too once you get a dose of reality from these not-so-lovely situations.<\/p><h2 id=\"its-all-about-how-you-share-them\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height:1.2\">It&#8217;s all about how you share them<\/h2><p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Sometimes the risk isn&#8217;t who you share your password with, but how you do it. Sharing your passwords over the internet, whether over unencrypted email or messaging apps, is like sharing them in plain view of the world. The next time you think about doing this, remember that any of the following situations can take hold (without you even knowing).<\/p><ul class=\"leading-loose mt-3 mb-6 list--ul\"><li class=\"my-2\">Your messaging app may not be as honest as you think. A messaging app without end-to-end encryption has full access to everything you send. End-to-end encryption means that the only person who can read your message is the person you send it to. Sounds like a given, right? Not when you consider the genuine possibility that your messaging app could be giving employees access to your private conversations.<\/li><li class=\"my-2\">Man-in-the-middle attacks. It&#8217;s true, attackers lurk in the middle of an exchange waiting to steal vital information, like passwords, credit card numbers, addresses\u2026 you name it. Without end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture, your credentials could be exposed, and a cybercriminal could be in and out of your bank account within seconds.<\/li><\/ul><h2 id=\"the-easy-way-to-share-passwords-securely\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height:1.2\">The easy way to share passwords securely<\/h2><p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Looking at the potential risks that one might face when trying to share passwords online, it is quite natural to question whether couples should share passwords at all and is it worth the risk? The good news is that there\u2019s a way to share passwords securely.<\/p><p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Obviously, the best defense is encryption. A messaging service or website using end-to-end encryption makes sure your data is kept safe from attackers. Password managers like <a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/nordpass.com\/password-manager\/\">NordPass<\/a> help you store and share your passwords in a completely secure way.<\/p><p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">With NordPass, encryption happens on your device, scrambling your data into gibberish before it even reaches the servers. This way everything you send remains locked, even from us \u2013 until it reaches your verified recipient.<\/p><p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">NordPass Family is a great way for couples, families, or even groups of friends to further improve their online security. The Family plan comes with six Premium accounts and includes all the advanced security features. Best of all \u2014 you\u2019ll be able to share passwords with other NordPass users instantly and effortlessly without sacrificing security.<\/p><h2 id=\"the-takeaway\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height:1.2\">The takeaway<\/h2><p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Matters of the heart aside, always think twice before you send a password by text or messaging apps. Even if the service offers encryption, subpar ciphers and weak protocols can be broken by even a mediocre cyberattacker.<\/p><p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Sending a password securely with NordPass is easy. It locks your sensitive credentials in an encrypted vault. You can select them from a simple drop-down list and send in complete confidence.<\/p><p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">The internet&#8217;s primary concern and priority is functionality. Your security and privacy probably aren&#8217;t. Don&#8217;t risk all of your accounts over something as small as sending a password.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2004c86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"2004c86\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"18103\" class=\"elementor elementor-18103\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-748947f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"748947f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;c4f773e&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7995c19\" data-id=\"7995c19\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a437045 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"a437045\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">About Version 2 Digital<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Version 2 Digital is one of the most dynamic IT companies in Asia.

It&#8217;s no longer a matter of \u201cif\u201d you&#8217;re going to suffer an attack but \u201cwhen\u201d it will happen. All companies want to be ready for any crisis. And this is where a business continuity plan comes into play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-lead my-3 font-medium\">But what is a business continuity plan exactly? Why is it important? What should one include? Today, we&#8217;re exploring all these questions in-depth.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-business-continuity-plan\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">What is a business continuity plan?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that sets guidelines for how an organization will continue its operations in the event of a disruption, whether it&#8217;s a fire, flood, other natural disaster or a cybersecurity incident. A BCP aims to help organizations resume operations without significant downtime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Unfortunately, according to a 2020 <a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mercer.com\/content\/dam\/mercer\/attachments\/global\/gl-2020-mercer-covid-19-global-survey-coronavirus-impact-to-global-market.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mercer survey<\/a>, 51% of businesses across the globe don&#8217;t have a business continuity plan in place.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"whats-the-difference-between-business-continuity-and-disaster-recovery-plans\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">What&#8217;s the difference between business continuity and disaster recovery plans?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">We often confuse the terms business continuity plan and disaster recovery plan. The two overlap and often work together, but the disaster recovery plan focuses on containing, examining, and restoring operations after a cyber incident. On the other hand, BCP is a broader concept that considers the whole organization. A business continuity plan helps organizations stay prepared for dealing with a potential crisis and usually encompasses a disaster recovery plan.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"importance-of-business-continuity-planning\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Importance of business continuity planning<\/h2>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">The number of news headlines announcing data breaches has numbed us to the fact that cybercrime is very real and frequent and poses an existential risk to companies of all sizes and industries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Consider that in 2021, approximately <a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/chuckbrooks\/2022\/06\/03\/alarming-cyber-statistics-for-mid-year-2022-that-you-need-to-know\/?sh=7e691ccf7864\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">37% of global organizations<\/a> fell victim to a ransomware attack. Then consider that business interruption and restoration costs account for <a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allianz.com\/en\/press\/news\/studies\/211013_Allianz-AGCS-Ransomware-Trends-Risks-and-Resilience.html#:~:text=Business%20interruption%20and%20restoration%20costs,involved%20in%20over%20six%20years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">50% of cyberattack-related losses<\/a>. Finally, take into account that most cyberattacks are financially motivated and the global cost of cybercrime topped <a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/techxplore.com\/news\/2022-05-global-cybercrime-topped-trillion-defence.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$6 trillion last year<\/a>. The picture is quite clear \u2014 cybercrime is a lucrative venture for bad actors and potentially disastrous for those on the receiving end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">To thrive in these unpredictable times, organizations go beyond conventional security measures. Many companies develop a business continuity plan parallel to secure infrastructure and consider the plan a critical part of the security ecosystem. The Purpose of a business continuity plan is to significantly reduce the downtime in an emergency and, in turn, reduce the potential reputational damage and \u2014 of course \u2014 revenue losses.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"business-continuity-plan-template\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Business continuity plan template<\/h2>\n<div class=\"BlogBannerV2 py-8 md:py-10 lg:py-12 mt-8 md:mt-10 lg:mt-12 relative flex flex-col text-center font-medium overflow-hidden BlogBannerV2--default bg-blue-darkest\">\n<h2 class=\"nord-text text-h3 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight inline-block font-bold mx-6 md:mx-21 z-1 text-white\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Password security for your business<\/h2>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black mt-4 lg:mt-6 z-1 text-white\">Store, manage and share passwords.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"z-1\"><a class=\"nord-button focus:outline-none font-medium align-bottom rounded-1 select-none transition-colors ease-out duration-250 cursor-pointer nord-button--medium border text-white nord-button--v-contained nord-button--c-teal bg-teal border-teal font-medium inline-block Button__rounded mt-4 lg:mt-6 py-3 px-4 lg:px-6 whitespace-no-wrap\" href=\"\/en\/business-password-manager\/\">Get NordPass Business<\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"nord-text text-micro leading-normal text-black mt-3 z-1 text-white\">30-day money-back guarantee<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<h4 id=\"business-continuity-plan-example\" class=\"text-h6 font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Business Continuity Plan Example<\/h4>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">[Company Name]<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">[Date]<\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"i-introduction\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">I.

This step is critical to understand the risks and their potential impact on the organization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Once the risks have been identified, the Prioritization of Risks follows, which helps determine which risks require the most attention and resources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">The final step in the Risk Assessment section is developing Mitigation Strategies to minimize the impact of identified risks.

Business Impact Analysis<\/h4>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">The Business Impact Analysis (BIA) section of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is a critical step in identifying the potential impact of a disruption to an organization&#8217;s critical operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">The Business Impact Analysis is typically conducted by a team of individuals who understand the organization&#8217;s critical functions and can assess the potential impact of a disruption to those functions. The team may include representatives from various departments, including finance, operations, IT, and human resources.<\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"v-recovery-and-restoration\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">V.

This may include steps such as relocating to alternate facilities, restoring data and systems, and re-establishing key business relationships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">The Prioritization section of the plan identifies the order in which critical processes will be restored, based on their importance to the organization&#8217;s operations and overall mission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Recovery time objectives (RTOs) define the maximum amount of time that critical processes and functions can be unavailable following a disruption. Establishing RTOs ensures that recovery efforts are focused on restoring critical functions within a specific timeframe.<\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"vi-plan-activation\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">VI.

The procedures should be clear and concise, with specific instructions for each step to ensure a prompt and effective response.<\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"vii-testing-and-maintenance\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">VII.

The testing procedures should include clear objectives, testing scenarios, roles and responsibilities, and evaluation criteria to assess the effectiveness of the plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">The Maintenance Procedures detail the steps necessary to keep the BCP up-to-date and relevant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">The Review and Update Procedures describe how the BCP will be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure its continued effectiveness. This may involve conducting a review of the plan on a regular basis or after significant changes to the organization&#8217;s operations or threats.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-should-a-business-continuity-plan-checklist-include\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">What should a business continuity plan checklist include?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Organizations looking to develop a BCP have more than a few things to think through and consider. Variables such as the size of the organization, its IT infrastructure, personnel, and resources all play a significant role in developing a continuity plan. Remember, each crisis is different, and each organization will have a view on handling it according to all the variables in play. However, all business continuity plans will include a few elements in one way or another.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"leading-loose mt-3 mb-6 list--ul\">\n \t<li class=\"my-2\">\n<h4 id=\"clearly-defined-areas-of-responsibility\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Clearly defined areas of responsibility<\/h4>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">A BCP should define specific roles and responsibilities for cases of emergency. Detail who is responsible for what tasks and clarify what course of action a person in a specific position should take. Clearly defined roles and responsibilities in an emergency event allow you to act quickly and decisively and minimize potential damage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"my-2\">\n<h4 id=\"crisis-communication-plan\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Crisis communication plan<\/h4>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">In an emergency, communication is vital. It is the determining factor when it comes to crisis handling. For communication to be effective, it is critical to establish clear communication pipelines. Furthermore, it is crucial to understand that alternative communication channels should not be overlooked and outlined in a business continuity plan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"my-2\">\n<h4 id=\"recovery-teams\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Recovery teams<\/h4>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">A recovery team is a collective of different professionals who ensure that business operations are restored as soon as possible after the organization confronts a crisis.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"my-2\">\n<h4 id=\"alternative-site-of-operations\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Alternative site of operations<\/h4>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Today, when we think of an incident in a business environment, we usually think of something related to cybersecurity. However, as discussed earlier, a BCP covers many possible disasters. In a natural disaster, determine potential alternate sites where the company could continue to operate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"my-2\">\n<h4 id=\"backup-power-and-data-backups\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Backup power and data backups<\/h4>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Whether a cyber event or a real-life physical event, ensuring that you have access to power is crucial if you wish to continue operations. In a BCP, you can often come across lists of alternative power sources such as generators, where such tools are located, and who should oversee them. The same applies to data. Regularly scheduled data backups can significantly reduce potential losses incurred by a crisis event.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li class=\"my-2\">\n<h4 id=\"recovery-guidelines\" class=\"text-lead font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Recovery guidelines<\/h4>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">If a crisis is significant, a comprehensive business continuity plan usually includes detailed guidelines on how the recovery process will be carried out.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"business-continuity-planning-steps\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Business continuity planning steps<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"my-12\">\n<div class=\"mx-auto\" style=\"max-width: 746px; max-height: 320px;\">\n<div class=\"nord-intrinsic relative w-full h-0 bg-transparent\" style=\"padding-top: 42.8954%;\"><picture class=\"nord-picture\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/s1.npass.app\/nordpass\/media\/1.1728.0\/images\/web\/blog\/svg\/business-continuity-plan-steps-746x320.svg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"nord-image nord-image--responsive\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"business continuity plan steps\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Here are some general guidelines that an organization looking to develop a BCP should consider:<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"analysis\" class=\"text-h6 font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Analysis<\/h3>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">A business continuity plan should include an in-depth analysis of everything that could negatively affect the overall organizational infrastructure and operations. Assessing different levels of risk should also be a part of the analysis phase.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"design-and-development\" class=\"text-h6 font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Design and development<\/h3>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Once you have a clear overview of potential risks your company could face, start developing a plan. Create a draft and reassess it to see if it takes into account even the smallest of details.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"implementation\" class=\"text-h6 font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Implementation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Implement BCP within the organization by providing training sessions for the staff to get familiar with the plan. Getting everyone on the same page regarding crisis management is critical.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"testing\" class=\"text-h6 font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Testing<\/h3>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Rigorously test the plan. Play out a variety of scenarios in training sessions to learn the overall effectiveness of the continuity plan. By doing so, everyone on the team will be closely familiar with the business continuity plan&#8217;s guidelines.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"maintenance-and-updating\" class=\"text-h6 font-medium mb-3 mt-6 leading-loose\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Maintenance and updating<\/h3>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">Because the threat landscape constantly changes and evolves, you should regularly reassess your BCP and take steps to update it. By making your continuity plan in tune with the times, you will be able to stay a step ahead of a crisis.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"level-up-your-companys-security-with-nordpass-business\" class=\"text-h5 font-bold mb-6 mt-12 leading-normal\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">Level up your company&#8217;s security with NordPass Business<\/h2>\n<p class=\"leading-loose text-base my-3\">A comprehensive business continuity plan is vital for the entire organization&#8217;s security posture.
