Some businesses rely solely on Meta platforms to run their business. This ‘boring’ stuff usually gets pushed to the bottom of every business owners to- do list but it’ll be the most urgent thing you do today! So in this blog I’m going to go through all the steps you should go through to secure your account. Don’t lose your business to hackers!

Strong Password

One of the most important steps to secure your Meta business account is to create a strong password. Your password should be complex and unique, consisting of a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information such as your name, date of birth, or any common words or phrases. Additionally, consider using a password manager to generate and store strong passwords securely.

Two-Factor Authentication

Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional layer of security for your Meta business account. This feature requires you to enter a unique code, in addition to your password, each time you log in. The code is usually sent to your mobile device or generated through a 2FA app. This ensures that even if your password is compromised, your account remains secure. You also need to verify your domain on Business manager.

Manage Access and Permissions

It's important to manage access and permissions for your Meta business account. Grant access only to authorized individuals, and review access regularly to ensure that it is up to date. Set up different levels of access and permissions based on roles and responsibilities. This will help to minimise the risk of unauthorized access to your account.

Regularly Monitor Activity

Regularly monitoring activity on your Meta business account can help you detect any suspicious or unusual behaviour. Look for any logins from unfamiliar locations, changes to your account information, or unauthorised access attempts. Set up alerts and notifications to stay informed of any changes or updates to your account.

Keep Software and Devices Updated

Keep your software and devices up to date to ensure that you are protected against the latest security threats. This includes your computer, mobile devices, and any software or apps you use to access your Meta business account. Regularly check for updates and install them as soon as they become available.
