TECHNOLOGY PEOPLE RISKS

Understand, mitigate and control people risks to your technology

Background

Protecting your technology from people risks

Every business is dependent on people, whether employees, management, suppliers or customers. Each of these groups can pose a different technology challenge and risk to your business. Understanding the needs of the people who interact with your business and the risks they pose can help reduce key dependencies and risks they cause.

Impacts of not managing a person risk can include:

Inability to operate:
You have 1 person who performs a key task, they are suddenly unavailable for an extended period causing operations to cease and financial impact.

Insider incompetence:
Your newly hired employee accidentally deletes all files from a critical shared folder, with no option of recovery. Depending on the files this can be terminal for a business.

Insider fraud/malicious activity:
A disgruntled employee decides to abuse their position to steal financially from the business or cause disruption by maliciously updating client sales records. These can go unknown for a long period and cause long lasting damage to a business.
