GV.RR-04.045
Has your organization integrated cybersecurity risk management into all phases of the employee lifecycle (screening, onboarding, role changes, and offboarding)?
Explanation
Integrating cybersecurity risk management into HR processes helps ensure security considerations are addressed throughout an employee's tenure. This includes conducting background checks during hiring, providing security training during onboarding, updating access privileges during role changes, and ensuring complete access revocation during offboarding. These practices help prevent insider threats, data breaches, and unauthorized access. Evidence could include documented HR procedures that explicitly address security considerations at each stage of the employee lifecycle, access management workflows showing approval processes for granting/modifying/revoking access, and offboarding checklists that include security-related tasks such as account deactivation and equipment return.
Implementation Example
Integrate cybersecurity risk management considerations into human resources processes (e.g., personnel screening, onboarding, change notification, offboarding)
