The following needs to be done to prevent hackers from breaking in:

1. Strong antivirus software needs to be installed on all machines that employees access to do their day-to day activities.

2. A firewall that detects and prevents any unauthorized access to sensitive client information.

3. A Virtual private network (VPN) tunnel that will only allow authorized people access to sensitive data. Employees would be given a VPN access separately to make sure that information privacy is protected at all times.

4. With regard to physical security, the business should have a 24/7 security guards to make sure that the facility is secure round the clock.

5. Employees should be given training on basic security measures that are installed so that they adhere to these norms.
