Security is of great concern when it comes to choosing a human resources management system. The information stored in a HRMS is highly sensitive, including proprietary company data and volumes of personal information about employees. It is essential for companies to choose a solution that utilizes a method of secure transmission such as SSL which encrypts the data as it transmits over the internet.
Internal security is also critical; information should be guarded by passwords that have varying levels of access in relation to what is needed for the job position. While most companies now allow employees to access portions of HRMS solutions, employees must understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of the system and protecting the security of the information it contains (i.e. no password sharing). Safeguards should also be in place to quickly bar terminated employees’ access to systems.
