Employee-related frauds such as inflated salary slips, exaggerated designations and misleading academic history can not only cause damage to the organization’s brand but also the bottom-line, month-on-month while the employee is still in the system. Organizations today have finally realized the relation between background screening and corporate reputation. Organizations, both big and small, are realizing the risk to their reputation because of precarious hiring and improper on-boarding processes.

HR is both, an organisation’s greatest asset, as well as one of the biggest windows of risk
Express BPD | October 3, 2017 |
The SecUR team has a background of risk management experience, across industries and processes. With a collective experience of close to a 100 years, across the leadership team, whenever we discussed risk management practices (beyond the financial and information security risk most organisations tend to cover), we realised that the Human Resource is both – the organisation’s greatest asset, as well as one of the biggest (and most under-estimated) windows of risk. Any employee, who is not really what he/she appears to be on paper, is a huge internal threat to the organisation. This realisation is what inspired us to set up a venture focused on filtering out this risk, and to make the workplace safer.
