Cloud based services (SaaS) is really starting to take off now and the time feels right to start seriously considering cloud based applications. However, I have one niggling concern - data security.
Some major organisations have been the victims of successful hacking attacks in recent times and some of these are actually technology companies themselves.
This raises some very serious questions for employers adopting cloud based
HR systems, which potentially hold sensitive data about their employees.
The obvious ones are, how secure is the service provider's system?
and, how do they ensure it stays secure?
I can't help wondering what the consequences would be if a large organisation's employee records were accessed by hackers.
Does anyone else have any concerns about this or am I just being paranoid?
