All systems go as companies push the IT in Security
The development and rollout of security systems remains
a critical focus in business as threats to physical infrastructure,
people and internal communication systems continue to escalate.
Experts within the business management solution arena say
that whilst there is technology available that will improve
protection, decision makers are advised to be more thorough
in their inspection and evaluation of solutions before committing
to investment.
According to HR and business management specialists, when
it comes to solution integration to improve overall system
performance, the system is really only as strong as its
weakest link.
“Matching up the requirements
of the business with technology that is designed to address
these specific requirements and can function effectively
within a specific environment is very important,”
says Teryl Schroenn, CEO at Accsys.
Accsys is a member of the Business Connexion Group and a
national supplier of management solutions within HR, payroll
administration, time & attendance and access control
“Factors such as mobility and the level of access
that IT personnel have to the company’s data should
be taken into account when assessing security risks,”
adds Schroenn, “The reality of the market today is
that core systems and the data that resides within a business
are increasingly accessible to those with information communication
technology experience and know-how. This access means that
confidentiality and intellectual property can be less secure
than is desirable and this is why decision makers continue
to make security a number one priority.”
There are numerous HR and data management systems available
to businesses, but certain features do not come standard
– for example, the fact that modules run off a centralised
platform.
Cost is often regarded as the main criteria upon which to
evaluate solutions – but this could be a serious oversight
and misjudgement claim experts at Accsys, particularly in
light of the availability and growing appeal of cloud-based
service and support.
Schroenn says cloud scenarios are attractive because they
allow users to remotely store and manipulate resources.
“This is off-site and anonymous,” she adds.
This distance factor is relevant because it reminds investors
of the value of anonymity in a market largely based on the
differentiation between privacy and non-privacy. The question
of what constitutes legitimate exposure within the public
domain and what does not remains an issue of controversy
and speculation.
Schroenn refers to the advent of legislation designed to
regulate information, policy and good governance –
such as POPI (Protection of Personal Information) –
as indicative of a market that understands the power of
data and the necessity to encourage responsible application.
Accsys anticipates that the data management and security
arena will only become more competitive and rapidly so.
