HR and Payroll vendors

HR and payroll platforms contain some of the most sensitive data in any organization — compensation, performance, health benefits, and employment history. They are also often used by virtually every employee, making them high-profile targets.

Risk profile for this category

Very high data sensitivity. Payroll data, benefit selections, and performance data are highly personal. Many HR platforms also integrate with health insurance providers, creating PHI adjacency. Require SOC 2 Type II and comprehensive employee data handling policies.

Common questions

Are HR vendors required to sign a GDPR DPA?
Yes, if your employees are EU-based. HR platforms process significant personal data of EU data subjects and must have a compliant DPA in place, appropriate sub-processor management, and mechanisms for employee data subject rights.
