Your WhatsApp business number is worth more than you think. Lose it, and you lose your customer relationships, your AI bot, your auto-replies — everything. Here's how to keep it safe.
Why Security Matters
Pakistani businesses lose WhatsApp numbers to bans, hacking, or careless mistakes every day. One wrong bulk campaign can get your number banned permanently. One shared API key can expose your entire account. Prevention is 100x easier than cure.
Wavvy's Built-in Security
Wavvy takes security seriously. Here's what's built into the platform:
- CSRF Protection: Prevents cross-site attacks on your dashboard
- XSS Protection: Input sanitization prevents script injection
- Rate Limiting: Prevents brute-force attacks on login
- Encrypted Sessions: WhatsApp credentials stored securely
- Helmet Security: HTTP headers hardened against attacks
Protect Your API Key
Your API key is like a password to your WhatsApp messages. Anyone with your API key can send messages from your numbers. Never share it publicly. Never commit it to GitHub. Never put it in frontend JavaScript code.
Never Do This
Don't share your API key with freelancers, developers, or anyone who doesn't need direct access. If you suspect your key is compromised, regenerate it immediately from API Management page. Old key stops working instantly.
Prevent WhatsApp Bans
The #1 security risk for Pakistani businesses isn't hacking — it's getting your WhatsApp number banned. Follow these rules strictly:
- Only message people who know your business
- Use number checker before bulk campaigns
- Warm up new numbers gradually (don't blast day 1)
- Include opt-out option in marketing messages
- Use Wavvy's built-in sending speed controls
Strong Password Practices
Use a strong, unique password for your Wavvy account. Change it regularly using the Change Password option in your dashboard. Never use the same password across multiple sites. If your team shares access, consider using unique credentials for each team member.
Security isn't glamorous, but losing your business WhatsApp number is devastating. Follow these practices, use Wavvy's built-in security features, and sleep well knowing your customer relationships are protected.
