Hey everyone! I've been diving into the HRIS selection process for our small, remote team and wow, it's a lot. One thing I kept running into was the security questionnaire part during demos and trials. Every vendor has a different way of presenting their security info, and it got super confusing to compare them side-by-side.
So, I ended up building a simple open-source checklist to organize the responses. It's basically a Notion template (of course 😅) that lists all the common security questions we kept asking about. Things like data encryption (at-rest and in-transit), audit logs, SOC 2 compliance, data center locations, and how they handle sub-processors.
I'm sharing it here because I figured it might help other beginners like me who feel overwhelmed. Has anyone else gone through this? What specific security aspects did you prioritize when choosing your HR or payroll platform? I'm especially curious about compliance for teams with members in different US states and the EU.
Thx!
