Personnel security measures

'Insiders' is the term used to refer to staff or contractors who try to use their legitimate access to your organisation's assets for unauthorised purposes. This includes many forms of criminal activity, from minor theft through to terrorism. Personnel security is the term used to describe the policies and procedures put in place to try to minimise the risk. Robust personnel security helps your organisation employ reliable people, minimise the chances of staff becoming unreliable once they have been employed, detect suspicious behaviour, and resolve security concerns once they emerge.
