HR data is one of the highest risk types of information stored by an organization given that it contains everything from basic contractor details and employee demographics to social security numbers and medical information.

Securing HR-related data needs to be approached from both a technical and end user perspective.

The first step to securing HR data is making sure that the ways in which users access data are both secure and easy to use.

The human element is often considered a high-risk factor because humans are easier to "Hack" than passwords or automatic security controls.

There is no perfect security solution for protecting HR data, but multiple, overlapping security layers can protect valuable HR assets without making it impossible for HR employees to do their work.
