Employee Exit Due Diligence Checks
Do you have the laptops, tablets, and phones of your departing employees inspected to check for signs of intellectual property theft?
Particularly those who could possibly work for a direct rival company?
Many businesses as part of the exit process for employees whether a voluntary departure, contract expiration, or retirement run checks on their company computers and mobile phones as part of the Employee Exit Due Diligence Checks
Today it is easier than ever for employees to easily steal your company's intellectual property via a USB memory stick or portable hard drive, followed by email attachments and cloud storage for example Google Drive or Dropbox. Customer details and lead lists can be stolen, research designs and development information pricing contract details, personal details and data, business private data, and other priceless information are typical targets for IP theft.
Some are dissatisfied, on the verge of getting fired or relocating to work for a rival. Additionally, they might not be leaving at all and instead be continuing to work for their existing employer while stealing data for their financial gain.
