In the fast-paced world of Accenture recruitment, storing and sharing CVs and other confidential information are tasks we're all familiar with, so to make sure you're keeping secure in your day-to-day processes, follow this as a guide:

2. Know Your content

3. Audience and Destination

Before you hit 'send,' on an email or decide to store a document, ask yourself:

Is it meant for public viewing or strictly internal eyes at a certain career level?
Could the content influence hiring decisions significantly and am I sending it to the right person?...
