SECURITY AUDITS
Major data breaches can be caused by poor internal security practices such as improper database management or end-user error. There are still many businesses who are not aware that they have passwords lying around and a badly-secured IT infrastructure. This is where a security audit is essential to keeping candidate data and business information protected.
Our security audits do not affect the day-to-day running of your business. We normally use our advanced software to run a scan and generate a comprehensive report which is easily understood by all your key stakeholders so they can make informed decisions.
You know security is major factor in your business. Here is audits can help:
- Annual audits to establish a security baseline where progress and effectiveness of audit team can be measured.
- Use an external auditor from a team who has real security experience rather than appointing an internal auditor.
- Involve business and IT managers from the start.
- Outline all company security risks in a report.
We know what CRM SYSTEM would work in your business.

- It can bridge the gap between sales and recruiting and understand the client’s changing needs.

- Many recruitment CRMs reduce complex relationships into simple records and help streamline the sales process.
- Better reports are generated, resulting in better outcomes.
Data breaching and how it affects you.
Personal data needs to be kept secure with restricted access. Now that GDPR is in place data protection for individuals in the EU is key, affecting all recruitment business and technology companies. GDPR affects the recruitment industry in the following ways:
- You need to have a record that the candidate is willing to provide their data and where the data is coming from.
- Data needs to be up-to-date and accurate.
- The privacy policy and terms and conditions need to be up-to-date and candidates should be aware of it.
- Need to understand how third parties will use the data and maintain an audit trail to show how CVs are brought in.
- Old unwanted data must be deleted.
- Candidates have a right to ask for human input if companies are using automation for screening.
- If companies become aware of a breach, they must report it within 72 hours under GDPR.
- Companies will require additional support and solutions from third parties to avoid a data breach.
