Types of HR Data at Risk

HR handles Social Security numbers, medical records, salary details, bank accounts for payroll, performance evaluations, and disciplinary actions. A breach of any of these can cause serious harm to employees.

Secure HR Communication

Use WeTalkin for sensitive HR discussions—employee relations issues, salary negotiations, termination planning, and medical accommodation discussions. Standard email and Slack leave sensitive HR content on corporate servers indefinitely.

Recruitment Privacy

Candidate information including resumes, interview notes, and reference checks must be protected. GDPR and similar laws restrict how long recruitment data can be retained. Encrypted communication during hiring protects candidate privacy.

Compliance Requirements

GDPR, state privacy laws, and employment regulations all govern HR data handling. Regular privacy training, data access audits, and encrypted communication tools like WeTalkin help HR departments meet these obligations.
