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)

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
