Human Resources

If you are in the Human resources industry, manage or are part of a team within an organisation, it’s all about the people and how the business can support them, this applies to your Hr team also.  One of the main solutions we consult on and impliment within the human resource industry is continuous staff cyber security awareness training.

Human resources (HR) departments require cyber security training because they handle highly sensitive and confidential information, including employee personal data, payroll details, health records, and performance evaluations. This data is a prime target for cyber criminals seeking to commit identity theft, financial fraud, or other malicious activities. Training HR staff in cyber security best practices helps ensure that this sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access and data breaches, maintaining the privacy and security of employees.

HR departments also often serve as a gateway for various organizational processes, making them a critical point for potential cyber threats such as phishing attacks, social engineering, and malware infections. HR personnel frequently interact with external candidates, vendors and new employees, which increases the risk of inadvertently introducing security threats into the organization. By providing cyber security training, HR staff can better recognize and respond to suspicious activities, such as phishing emails or fraudulent job applications, thereby reducing the likelihood of successful cyber attacks. This proactive approach not only safeguards the HR department but also strengthens the overall security posture of the organization.

People are the number one risk in any business and especially with the volume of phishing emails staff receive today.  LoughTec provide bespoke continuous staff cyber security awareness training with initial surveys, video awareness training, email and QR code phishing simulations, dark web monitoring and a governance and compliance e-sign document library for ensuring document policy tracking and audit standards.
