Burlington, MA USA - On October 14, 2005, IHRIM is presenting ìManaging Your HR Information Security Risks,î a course to be held at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Any HR or HR systems professional involved in the capture, use, management, or dissemination of information about people has a role to play in helping to protect that information from compromise or theft.

Technology has ushered in the age of self-service applications, portals, decision support systems, electronic signatures, wireless, and the like. Theft and compromise of HR information is a routine occurrence fueling an explosion of fraud and identity theft crimes. This and the publicís growing uneasiness about privacy issues are driving the creation of new laws, regulations and employer liabilities. Outsourcing, offshoring, and the continual drive to slash overhead costs are all contributing to this transformation of HR information management. What you did even three years ago to manage information about people is not sufficient now.

This course will include a discussion of how these changes are impacting policies, procedures, responsibilities, and liabilities throughout the information lifecycle and the records management function. As a bonus, attendees will be provided with a set of assessment templates they can use back at the job, a summary of some key legal/regulatory statutes, and a listing of useful information sources.
