RS.CO-03.335

Does your organization have a documented process for notifying HR when malicious insider activity is detected?

Explanation

This question assesses whether formal communication channels exist between security teams and HR when employees or contractors are found engaging in malicious activities. These activities might include data theft, unauthorized system access, sabotage, or other actions that violate security policies and potentially require disciplinary action. Evidence could include a documented incident response procedure that specifically addresses insider threats and includes HR notification steps, communication templates for HR notifications, or records of previous incidents where HR was properly notified (with sensitive details redacted).

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.
