Right-Hand’s Human Risk Management Essentials - Chapter 4
In the first three chapters, we explored the key components of HRM and the metrics that matter most.
But HRM isn’t just about processes and data—it’s about people. From CISOs to frontline employees, every stakeholder plays a vital role in building a secure environment.
In this chapter, we’ll take a closer look at the key stakeholders in HRM and how their involvement strengthens your organization’s security culture.
Employees: The Heart of HRM ????
In an HRM framework, employees are more than just the recipients of training; they are the centerpiece of a healthy security culture. Their actions and behaviors directly impact the organization’s security posture.
Engaging employees through real-time learning nudges and personalized interventions ensures they are active participants in the security process, which is a major shift from the passive approach of traditional Security Awareness Training. The more involved employees are, the stronger the overall security culture becomes.
SOC Teams: Reducing Alerts Through Behavior Change ??
Security Operations Center (SOC) teams often bear the brunt of security incidents, triaging endless alerts. HRM programs support SOC teams by directly addressing the root cause—employee behavior.
We’ve observed a clear connection between the delivery of real-time training nudges and a reduction in security alerts over time. Fewer mistakes by employees mean fewer alerts for SOC teams, demonstrating the power of HRM in driving meaningful behavior change.
Security Teams: Seeing Beyond KPIs ??
For security teams, the ultimate goal is behavior change, not just ticking boxes on training completion. HRM delivers real-time learning interventions at the moments that matter most, ensuring that training isn’t just theoretical but applied in practice.
This approach goes beyond meeting training KPIs; it results in tangible improvements in employee behavior, ultimately protecting the organization’s sensitive data and reducing overall risk.

CISOs: Strategically Managing Human Risk ??
CISOs are tasked with overseeing the entire security landscape, including the human element. HRM provides them with the insights needed to understand user-generated security alerts and which behaviors are most susceptible to influence through training.
Armed with this data, CISOs can make informed decisions about where to invest resources, what security controls need tightening, and how to close any remaining gaps in their human risk strategy.
The Importance of Engaging All Stakeholders
At Right-Hand, we’ve always emphasized the importance of involving all stakeholders in the security conversation. HRM ensures that every team member, from the CISO to frontline employees, receives the right tools and training tailored to their specific role. This collaborative approach is essential for building a proactive and resilient security culture.
