Examples of organizational risks posed by technology in the workplace include data privacy issues and data security breaches. HR personnel are often tasked with assessing risk factors revolving around HR data. HR personnel also often help mitigate risk factors by providing training and awareness sessions to managers and staff-level employees. As described in the SHRM-CP learning system, three organizational security measures must be addressed: 1) Exposure of electronically stored sensitive data (such as personal or benefits information). 2) Loss of sensitive personnel data. 3) Unauthorized updates of key data. Please respond to the following:
- Which of these three do you consider to be the most important? And, why?
- If left unmitigated, select another security measure, and describe what types of organizational impacts/damage might be caused.
- Select a security protection method you believe to be the most effective for an organization you are familiar with; select from these methods: encryption and protecting against hacking and social engineering methods.
- List and discuss two ethical dilemmas workplace technology may pose to HR personnel.
- Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates' posts.
