Cybersecurity is not solely an IT issue, data breaches stem from people, processes and mistakes. Payroll data is some of the most sensitive data, therefore everyone and everything involved in the process should play their part in protecting it.

Analysing your business

Starting with your organisation, gain a thorough understanding of your security standards and guidelines. By studying your organisation and your partner’s processes, systems and people involved, identify the risk areas and report back your findings and recommendations.

Time to test

On completion of the implementation, the new arrangements need to be documented and tested. Iterative changes may need to be performed in order to reach a conclusive position. Final approval must be sought from your security council.

Implementing

Working with your team and third parties review the risks and threats, then prioritise the list. Structure a change management program to implement specific alterations to your working practices or systems in order to address all areas of risk.

Third party audits

Your payrolls are largely dependent on the practices and processes of third parties, many of whom have pursued and gained ISO and ISAE accreditations. Often there is a gap between the standard and common practice within these organisations. Investigate perceived areas of risk in your provider partners and form a plan to close that accreditation gap.
