Today’s quintessential HR department is a little different than the stereotypical image that it is often associated with. Instead of being dragged down by paperwork, many companies have instead opted for digital HR tools that eliminate a lot of the daily dirty work. From HR management software to employee onboarding software, a number of different platforms can now make up your digital footprint.
One aspect that hasn’t changed however, is HR’s role in handling and protecting sensitive information and data. Most systems contain employee files, compensation data, policy manuals and interoffice correspondence, just to name a few. And with this type of employee information moving around from platform to platform, it’s best to be proactive and set up steps to avoid security breaches.
Your clients trust you with their information, that is why keeping their data safe is a fundamental part of being a service provider. As more and more software solutions continue to migrate to a cloud-based model, “data security” has become a much larger responsibility and talking point for most organizations.
A security breach can destroy the confidence of employees, customers or clients, which can dramatically impact sales, recruitment and the overall reputation of your organization and brand. Often the indirect cost to the organization from negative publicity significantly outweighs direct costs and potential legal liabilities.
In the present-day digital age, data security is paramount and important information that must be protected from both accidental deletion and malicious intent.
HR Cloud protects your information from accidental deletion by duplicating all data in real-time! This also allows for a rock-solid disaster recovery process; a protocol we test twice a year to establish that it is always operating at optimum performance. All HR Cloud customer data including Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as social security numbers is encrypted in transit and at rest. This means that your data is always safe; whether it is on the move or sitting still.
