Employee Separation Defensibility
Mitigate the potential risks associated with departing employees, ensuring a secure and legally compliant transition while safeguarding sensitive information.
In the modern workplace, organizations face a complex process when separating employees, leading to potential data loss due to automated workflows deleting data or recycling physical devices containing critical information subject to regulatory hold or litigation hold.
Separating employees may carry valuable knowledge and sensitive data to competitors or unauthorized parties, potentially harming the company's intellectual property and competitive advantage. In the worst-case scenario, separating employees pose a security risk, as disgruntled or careless individuals might engage in malicious activities like data theft, leading to financial losses and reputational damage.
Strategy Development
Put policies and workflows into place that align with your legal department's understanding and guidelines. This ensures that accounts, locations, or devices subject to disposition are identified and appropriate actions are taken to prevent data loss.
