The best practices for securely handling sensitive personal information of others are to limit access to the data on a "need-to-know" basis, ensure proper data encryption and storage, create strict protocols and procedures governing the use and disclosure of data, avoid relying on passwords alone for authentication, continuously monitor access activities and keep an inventory of all stored information.

There are a few best practices for securely handling sensitive personal information of others to prevent any potential breaches or privacy violations. The most important thing is to ensure that the information is obtained legally and appropriately stored, handled and destroyed when no longer required. It is also important to ensure that the person who has given you permission to handle their personal data clearly understands what you plan on doing with it. Additionally, whenever possible, use industry-recognized encryption standards for transmission and storage of data, train your staff in how to handle sensitive customer information carefully and provide physical security for confidential materials such as locking them away in a secure location or restricted area.
