Securing board presentations with password protection is crucial, especially for pharma execs who deal with sensitive information. This can be achieved using PowerPoint’s built-in security features, as well as additional measures for a more comprehensive protection. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Use PowerPoint’s Built-In Password Protection
1. Open your presentation in PowerPoint. Click on the ‘File’ tab and then choose ‘Protect Presentation’ from the Info menu.
2. Select ‘Encrypt with Password’ from the drop-down list.
3. Enter a secure password in the dialog box that appears and then press ‘OK’.
4. Re-enter the password when prompted to confirm it and then click ‘OK’ again. Your presentation is now password-protected.
Remember, if you lose or forget the password, it cannot be recovered.
Add Extra Layers of Security
For added security, consider these additional measures:
1. PDF Conversion: Convert your presentation to a password-protected PDF. This can deter unauthorized editing.
2. Watermarking: Add watermarks to your slides. This can help prevent unauthorized use of your material.
3. Restrict Permission: Use the ‘Restrict Permission by People’ feature in PowerPoint. This allows you to specify who can read, edit, or print your presentation.
4. Use Trusted Software: Use trusted third-party software for additional encryption and security options.
