Open-source research can be a valuable tool in identifying and mitigating personnel vulnerabilities and potential insider risks. By examining publicly available information, including relevant legal proceedings, financial difficulties and employment history, organisations can identify potential concerns and strengthen their approach to personnel screening and risk management.
In Part 2 of GSA Global’s Insider Risk Management series, Ellen Davies, Lead Open-Source Investigator, explores how public records research can support background verification and help organisations identify potential warning signs. Used appropriately and in accordance with data protection requirements, this research can support informed decisions, strengthen due diligence and reduce exposure to insider threats.
