When Business Boundaries Are Crossed

Short on Time? Catch the Medium Highlights

Good morning Reader!

What would you do if you found out a former service provider was still using your data—without permission?

It happens more often than you’d think. A contract ends, but access isn’t revoked. Maybe it’s an old login, a shared document, or even physical keys. Some take that as an invitation to help themselves. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Clear policies and procedures prevent these grey areas from becoming stressful risks. When expectations are set from the start there’s no room for manipulation.

No space for blurred lines.
