One of the best practices found in the Common Sense Guide to Mitigating Insider Threats is the need to develop an employee termination process that takes into account the threat a departing employee can pose.

At a very high level, the risk scores equate to how much the organization sees the position, department, or individual in terms of potential exposure.

In order to establish controls that allow the organization to properly detect insider risk, you must first know where you should be looking. Each position within your company has a relative level of risk associated with it.

Insider risk begins the moment you grant access. What’s required on an employee’s first day is to present them with a CIPA.

Improve your organizational ability to detect insider threats before they become insider attacks, react quickly and with confidence to potential (or actual) problems.
