Background Checks: Getting the Facts on Job Candidates - Legally
|
|
HR executives who aren’t up to speed on the new privacy and data security obligations regulations may be exposing their companies to huge fines, legal liability and reputational risk. To curb the epidemic of identity theft, State legislatures enacted legislation last year that places a far greater burden on organizations to protect sensitive employee and customer data. How sure are you that your company is storing, transporting and disposing of sensitive personal information correctly?
Your department is an attractive target for identity thieves. HR gathers and houses precisely the personal information thieves are looking for – social security numbers, drivers license number, and bank account numbers. All the more reason why you need to master state-of-the-art preventive measures that frustrate identity thieves and keep your company out of court.
