Managing risk during an involuntary separation of an employee is essential. Whether the employee is a contractor or directly employed by a government agency, the challenge and risk to the organization is great. This session will detail a real-world case study that identifies the gaps and solutions associated with involuntary employee separations, and present a risk-based protocol for managing risk effectively. This includes a protocol for conducting an employee separation risk assessment, keys to success for managing access to facilities and IT systems and post-separation vigilance. As each separation is unique, security practitioners need to be proactive in developing a process and plan to assess risk and implement mitigations to reduce undesirable events.
