Cross-Border HRIS Migration: Vendor Risk and PIPA Exposure
What this course covers
Scenario
A regional manufacturer in Red Deer is rolling out a new HRIS that consolidates payroll, benefits enrolment, and performance reviews into a single cloud platform hosted by a US vendor. During the vendor due-diligence review, the HR director discovers the platform stores employee SIN numbers, banking details, and medical accommodation records on servers in Virginia, with no contractual data-residency commitment. The CFO has already signed a three-year agreement and the migration is scheduled for next month. The HR director needs to assess what exposure this creates and what has to be remediated before go-live.
