When you're considering hiring employees through an Employer of Record (EOR), understanding how their data is transferred and stored is crucial for ensuring compliance, security, and efficiency. Here's a detailed look at the process:
Data Transfer Protocols
Secure Transfer Methods
Encrypted File Transfer: EORs use secure file transfer protocols like SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) to ensure data is encrypted during transmission. This prevents unauthorized access to sensitive employee information.
End-to-End Encryption: Data is encrypted from the point of origin to the destination, ensuring that only authorized parties can access the information.
Secure API Connections: EORs often provide APIs for real-time data synchronization, ensuring that data is transferred securely between your HRIS and the EOR's platform.
SSL/TLS Protocols: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols are used to encrypt data in transit, protecting it from interception.
Data Validation Process
Integrity Checks: EORs perform integrity checks to ensure data is not corrupted or altered during transfer.
Format Verification: Data is validated to ensure it adheres to the required format, reducing errors and ensuring compliance.
Completeness Validation: EORs verify that all necessary data fields are populated to avoid incomplete records.
Error Detection: Automated systems detect and flag any errors or discrepancies in the data transfer process.
Data Protection Measures
Encryption Standards: EORs use advanced encryption standards like AES-256 to protect data at rest.
Data Masking: Sensitive data is masked or tokenized to prevent unauthorized access.
Access Controls: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access control (RBAC) ensure only authorized personnel can access data.
Regular Audits: EORs conduct regular security audits to ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
Compliance and Legal Considerations
Regulatory Framework
Data Protection Laws: EORs must comply with local data protection laws like GDPR, CCPA, and India's IT Act, ensuring data is handled with the utmost care.
Documentation Requirements: EORs maintain comprehensive documentation of data processing activities, including consent forms, data retention policies, and breach notification protocols.
Data Retention and Disposal
Retention Policies: EORs establish clear data retention policies, ensuring data is stored only for as long as necessary.
Secure Disposal: After the retention period, data is securely disposed of to prevent unauthorized access.
