INSIDER THREAT PROGRAMME

THE NEXT CYBER THREAT

MAY ALREADY HAVE AN EMPLOYEE BADGE.

Protect your organisation from malicious, negligent, and compromised insiders.

Insider Threat Programme

Detection, Prevention & Investigation Governance Toolkit

Insider threats remain one of the most underestimated risks facing organisations today.

Whether driven by malicious intent, human error, or compromised credentials, insiders already possess what external attackers spend months trying to obtain:

Trusted access.

This professionally developed Insider Threat Programme provides organisations with a practical framework for identifying, detecting, investigating, and responding to insider threats while balancing employee privacy rights and legal obligations.

Built using internationally recognised practices, this fully editable toolkit helps organisations establish an effective insider threat capability that integrates cybersecurity, HR, legal, and executive leadership functions.

WHY THIS TOOLKIT MATTERS

The most damaging cyber incidents don't always originate from sophisticated external attackers.

They can originate from:

• Employees stealing sensitive data before resignation

• Negligent employees exposing confidential information

• Privileged users abusing trusted access

• Compromised accounts used by external attackers

• Disgruntled staff sabotaging systems

Without an insider threat programme, organisations often struggle with:

• Limited visibility into risky behaviours

• Delayed detection of insider activity

• Poor coordination between HR and security teams

• Unclear investigation procedures

• Legal and privacy concerns

• Reactive rather than proactive responses

This framework provides organisations with a structured approach to managing insider risks before they escalate into business crises.

Organisations invest heavily in defending against external attackers.

Yet many overlook the risks posed by individuals who already possess trusted access.
