Human Resources Security

Human resources (HR) managers take more managed‐level practices (such as managing performance, training, communication, and coordination) within the cybersecurity and enterprise functions. At these HR maturity levels, there is no excuse for not meeting appropriate standards and training for HR cybersecurity even if the standards are not necessarily certifiable. The ISO 27000 family of standards help organizations keep information assets secure. The overall objective of HR security is to ensure that all employees (including contractors and any users of sensitive data) are screened and qualified and understand their job duties prior to and during employment. They also must ensure that access is removed once employment is terminated. At higher HR maturity levels, there is there an increasing array of more sophisticated tools, techniques, and solutions for advanced cybersecurity. These include certified professional and academic programs.
