In today’s digital-first workplace, the security and privacy of performance management data are more critical than ever. Understanding the balance between innovative functionality and robust security measures is key to choosing a performance management solution that protects sensitive information while facilitating effective employee evaluations.
The Importance of Data Security and Privacy
Protecting sensitive performance data is not just a technical necessity but a trust pact between an organization and its employees. This trust is built on the assurance that employee evaluations, feedback, and personal development information are handled with the utmost confidentiality and integrity.
Current Security Measures
Our commitment to data security is reflected in our use of industry-leading encryption for data both in-transit and at-rest. We understand the importance of safeguarding sensitive information, such as performance reviews and personal development plans, ensuring they are protected through every stage of data handling.
Compliance and Data Protection
While we strive to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in several aspects, we acknowledge areas that are still under development. Our ongoing efforts include enhancing our compliance with GDPR, particularly in data processing, transmission, and encryption, ensuring the right to be forgotten and maintaining the privacy of the data stored on our servers.
Future Roadmap for Enhanced Security
We are in the process of enhancing our security framework to include advanced features such as:
- Automated Access Logs: To improve transparency and compliance, particularly for standards like HIPAA.
- Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Face ID: Enhancing user authentication to protect against unauthorized access.
- EU-Based Servers: Expanding our server locations to include the EU, enhancing performance and compliance for our European users.
