Payroll and HR Data Security with iTrent Shield
Our innovative iTrent Shield helps you avoid potential data breaches which not only damage your brand and reputation but undermine employee trust. By providing additional levels of data security, iTrent Shield will ensure your business stays protected.
We can help you:
- Ensure you’ve got maximised security throughout your organisation
- Protect your organisation from brand-damaging data breaches
- Give your employees the power to work from anywhere without compromising safety

What is MFA?
With many employees now working remotely, your business is more vulnerable to cyber attacks.
MFA in iTrent Shield adds additional, essential security for users by requiring an additional verification check on logging in ('two-factor authentication'). As well as a username and password, users must enter a six-digit code sent to their phone to validate their identity. This helps protect against attacks where a user's password is guessed or obtained through a phishing email.

How can UBA protect you?
Would you know if one of your iTrent accounts was being used maliciously by someone outside the organisation, or if one of your employees was stealing data? In a first for the HR and Payroll sector, our UBA solution uses advanced algorithms to identify and alert you when user accounts may have been compromised by hackers or by employees undertaking fraudulent activities.

Cyber-crime prevention
The global rise in cyber-crime has left organisations more exposed than ever.
Advanced anti-malware can identify even the most sophisticated and unique malicious content that would not be spotted by a regular signature-based anti-malware solution. All documents are taken into a sandbox environment where any links or attachments are executed in a safe environment to analyse their behaviour. Any red flags are immediately sent to quarantine.

What makes iTrent Shield superior when it comes to cyber security threats?
iTrent Shield incorporates enhanced data security features to protect against cyber attacks by stopping cyber security threats before they occur or detecting and alerting you about an imminent attack while it is taking place.
Reduce risk
Access iTrent safely from anywhere with multifactor authentication (MFA) reducing the risk of unauthorised users accessing your system, data being stolen or payments being diverted.
Protect your system from cyber-crime
Scab every document coming into iTrent using sandboxing technology to provide greater protection from 'zero-day' threats without impacting productivity.
Detect security threats
Identify risks and take action before it’s too late with User Behaviour Analytics (UBA). By analysing patterns of human behaviour, you’ll spot red flags.
Ensure compliance
No matter where your staff are working, they’ll meet requirements for all regulatory requirements – all thanks to our SAAS and SAP cloud security solutions.
Data Security FAQs
Rather than spending time manually carrying out administrative tasks, such as payroll, an online HR software like iTrent allows you to have access to a single platform to manage all your HR, payroll, talent, and workforce management data. This saves you time and money and reduces the risk of manual errors.
However, as everything is in one place, data security is of the utmost importance. That’s why we developed iTrent Shield. Fortified with additional security measures such as Multi-Factor Authentication and User Behaviour Analytics, you can ensure your employee data is protected around the clock.
Without the stringent security that our iTrent and iTrent Shield platforms provide, your business could face cyber security threats and attacks.
iTrent has been developed with data security in mind. Every field of data within iTrent can be tailored down to the user level, meaning that you always have control of who can access what. By limiting the number of employees with access to sensitive information, you are far less likely to fall victim to a cyber attack or dishonest activity from within your organisation.
For an additional layer of security, iTrent Shield uses the latest technology and algorithms to add MFA and UBA to your system. As well as requiring a two-step login process, iTrent Shield monitors your online HR system in real time to detect cyber security threats and attacks before they happen.
As the resident experts in cloud-based human resources software and data security, we’ve been helping businesses like yours for over 30 years to streamline their payroll systems and minimise cyber security threats.
We understand that payroll can be complex and time consuming, so we’ve been working with businesses like yours to not only streamline the process saving hours and money but to reduce manual errors and enhance security.
Our cloud-hosted software systems give you control of your payroll in a single platform so you can manage your payroll quickly, easily, and securely. Enhanced with heightened security features like MFA and UBA, with us you can be confident that your employees’ data is in safe hands.
