Every employee at every level in every part of the business has been granted a level of trust – access to data, systems, networks, customers and physical assets. It is the breach of this trust, either deliberate or (more usually) inadvertent, that causes the vast majority of security breaches. Yet the employee is often still the most neglected element in any security management system.

Security is fundamental to, and should be an integral part of, every stage of the employee lifecycle – from recruitment to termination and all the stops in between. In this four-part SASIG Academy series, we will investigate in depth the key issues in ensuring we recruit honest people and then keep them so.

Session 1 

People aren’t always who they say they are, and there can be many reasons for this.
The first session in this academy series looks at security in the earliest stages of the employee lifecycle and what practical steps you can take to improve and develop security in your hiring process. We cover describing the role and deciding its risks, placing the advert, reviewing applications, interview techniques and pre-employment screening. All these elements are key tools to ensure you hire the right person for the job.
