The CISO's Checklist for Deploying Employee Activity Tracking Software Ethically and Securely
Employee activity tracking software has become a non-negotiable security control for distributed teams. But CISOs deploying it now sit at the intersection of three competing pressures: the security team needs telemetry to detect insider threats, HR needs to preserve employee trust, and Legal needs documented compliance with GDPR, ECPA, and state-level statutes. Most deployments fail at least one of those three. Some collect activity data the DPIA cannot justify.
