How to Review Security Before Giving a Vendor Access to Employee Records

A vendor may need limited HR data to provide a service, but employee records can include personal and financial information. Broad exports or persistent access increase exposure beyond the service need.

What to check

Identify requested fields, purpose, user roles, access duration, storage and deletion terms, support access, audit logs, and incident notice process. Check whether a smaller or pseudonymized dataset can work.

Recommended next step

Use a documented data-sharing approval, minimize fields, grant time-limited named access, and verify deletion or retention at the end of the service.
