Data Security and Privacy Concerns in Cloud-Based HRM Systems

Abstract

Regarding cloud-based human resource management (HRM) systems, the purpose of this research is to investigate the significant concerns regarding privacy and security that are associated with these systems. Because an increasing number of companies are relying on cloud technology to manage their human resources tasks, there is a greater level of concern than ever before regarding the safety of sensitive employee information. This study investigates the numerous privacy and security concerns that are associated with cloud-based human resource management systems. There are some hazards associated with this, including data breaches, illegal access, and compliance with data protection requirements. The research sheds light on the difficulties that businesses encounter when it comes to protecting employee data that is stored in the cloud. This is accomplished through the examination of case studies, security frameworks, and technologies that enhance privacy. In addition, the essay analyzes how well-performing security solutions that are now in use, such as encryption, multi-factor authentication, and access control mechanisms, reduce the likelihood that these dangers will materialize. In addition to this, it offers suggestions for improving the privacy and data security of cloud-based human resource management systems. This ensures that businesses can make use of cloud computing without jeopardizing the safety and confidentiality of their human resources (HR) data. The findings have brought to light the significance of maintaining a strong security posture in the human resources (HR) area, which is becoming increasingly dependent on cloud computing.
