You’ve added two-step verification to everything from your NestCam to your Einstein’s Bagels app. Maybe you’ve even frozen your credit (and your kids’ credit, if you’re super vigilant). You know a breach in your security plan could wreck your life. In business, your access to workers’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) places an enormous responsibility on your shoulders. They may not think about it every day, but if there’s a breach, they certainly will.

Seriously.

When you’re thinking about hiring enough workers to get the job done, the last thing you want to be burdened with is integrating all the systems to make sure you get it done securely. Building the infrastructure to hire and deploy a contingent workforce takes time and serious expertise!

Can you think of many business functions in the world that access more priceless personal information and sensitive company information than hiring? I can’t! The best systems, software, and teams mean little if they are vulnerable to security attacks. You know the only time security makes the news? When it fails.

The most secure organizations partner with and employ several internal and third-party resources to protect PPI as fiercely as possible.

• Encrypt everything and at multiple levels
• Treat all sensitive information as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and in accordance with HIPAA recommendations
• Don’t allow any sensitive data to go offshore
• Have third parties perform monthly security checks and an annual penetration test

One of the biggest benefits of working with an Employer of Record (EOR) like PayReel is that we’ve already built the infrastructure to follow all of the above recommendations. We protect clients’ resources, contracts, and data at all times with multi-leveled security systems.

Hey, you can let your PR company keep you in the news for good reasons. At PayReel, we specialize in keeping you out of the headlines you don’t want to be saddled with. Bottom line: You better check yourself before you wreck yourself.
