Sign an NDA, share logins through a password manager or vault instead of email, give each person only the access they need, turn on two-factor authentication and remove access the day the work ends. Our assistants sign an NDA and you share logins through the encrypted vault in your account.

Below is what an Administrative Assistant does, what it costs and how to hire one this week.
