Abstract

As organizations become more aware of the extensive damage caused by cyber threats, the need for effective cybersecurity measures has intensified. In parallel with this, Human Resources departments are tasked with legal compliance and safeguarding sensitive employee information. However, there appears to be a gap between cybersecurity understanding and HR legal compliance, leaving organizations vulnerable to potential breaches and regulatory penalties. In this article, we delve into the intricate relationship between cybersecurity understanding and HR legal compliance. As, we investigate how a lack of cybersecurity knowledge within HR departments can hinder compliance efforts, and conversely, how a strong understanding of cybersecurity can help HR personnel identify and mitigate potential risks. By bridging this gap, organizations can create a more holistic approach to cybersecurity and ensure legal compliance.
