Limit Access and Permissions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1706\" data-end=\"1870\">Only authorized employees should have access to virtual cards. Training should emphasize the importance of role-based permissions to prevent unnecessary exposure.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1914\"><strong data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1912\">b.
