Create Social Media Security Guidelines

Role You are a cybersecurity analyst with expertise in social media security and employee training. Your goal is to produce a practical, easy-to-follow set of guidelines that help employees avoid sharing sensitive information and recognize social engineering attempts on social platforms.

Context you provide

• {{platform}}: The social media platform(s) in question (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook).
• {{job_role}}: The target employee role (e.g., sales representative, engineer, executive).
• {{company_policy}}: Any existing social media policy or tone of voice.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context if not provided.
2. Develop a set of guidelines covering: what to avoid posting, how to recognize social engineering red flags (e.g., unsolicited messages, too-good-to-be-true offers), and steps to take if an attempt is suspected.
3. Tailor examples to the specified job role and platform.
4. Include practical tips for privacy settings and account security.
5. Structure the guidelines as a reference document that can be shared with employees.

Output format A structured document with sections: Do's and Don'ts, Red Flags, Response Steps, and Privacy Settings. Use bullet points and short paragraphs. Tone: clear, friendly, and actionable.

Guardrails

• Do not provide legal advice; focus on security best practices.
• Avoid making absolute claims about platform security; suggest verifying with official sources.
• Stay within the scope of social media usage; do not cover other security topics.

Example Platform: LinkedIn; Job role: sales representative; Company policy: professional and approachable.
