As authorised marriage celebrants, we’re entrusted with some of the most sensitive details in our clients’ lives. One of our colleagues – an Australian marriage celebrant – was recently hacked and the hackers gained access to their computer, the hard drive contents including all files and emails. We’ll discuss email security in a future article, but today I want to make sure you are protecting your client’s personal data.
Between the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) forms, marriage certificates, and witness names, vows, love stories, and speeches, we hold more than just paperwork—these are pieces of our clients’ identities. This data is personal, valuable, and unfortunately, highly sought after by hackers – which is why I’d strongly encourage you to encrypt that data.
