Analysing Candidates' Social Media for Risk and Brand Protection

Reviewing your candidates' private and closed social media accounts with their consent provides deeper insight into potential behaviours or risks that could harm your brand’s reputation. This analysis helps identify red flags, such as discriminatory actions, inappropriate conduct, or associations with controversial groups, ensuring alignment with your company’s values.

An insider threat occurs when someone with authorised access misuses sensitive information, often through coercion or malicious intent. Hostile actors may exploit personal content shared on social media, such as controversial or inappropriate posts, to blackmail employees into compromising sensitive data, risking both security and reputation.

Social media checks enable you to identify potential risks early, uncovering harmful posts or behaviours before they can be exploited. By addressing these vulnerabilities proactively, you can minimise the risk of insider threats, ensuring that only suitable candidates are placed in sensitive roles and reinforcing the security of your organisation.
