Human Risk Management (HRM) is all about reducing the risks that come from the way people use technology at work. Everyone makes mistakes, but some of these mistakes can lead to big problems, like security breaches, which often start with a simple human error.
Traditionally, when we talk about managing risks in a business, we’re thinking about preventing problems before they happen. This could be anything from financial risks to problems with how the business is run. HRM is similar, but it focuses on the people in your organisation.
In the world of HR, managing risks usually includes things like hiring the right people, following the rules, and making sure the process of joining or leaving the company is smooth. HRM takes this a step further by specifically looking at how these risks relate to cybersecurity.
Since most security problems are caused by people (over 80%!), whether by accident or because they were tricked, it’s important to help employees be more aware of security. Instead of seeing employees as the problem, HRM sees them as the solution. With the right training and support, your team can become the strongest defense against threats, turning potential risks into powerful protectors of your organisation.
