Industry Series: HR Tech 📄

The evolution of HR Technology is transforming how organizations attract, retain, and engage talent. As workforce expectations shift and hybrid models become the norm, companies are leaning on HR Technology to automate workflows and manage distributed teams. Fortune Business Insight expects the global HR Tech market to surpass $39 billion by 2029. 


But as HR systems become the digital backbone of talent management, they also inherit significant risk


⚠️ Regulatory Pressure

As a provider of HR technology, your clients rely on you to help them navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. From GDPR to local labor laws, HR platforms handle vast amounts of sensitive personal data, including salaries, social security numbers and more. A single security lapse in your system can expose your clients to heavy fines and reputational damage. 


⚠️ Risks of Integrations 

Today’s HR stack is rarely just one system; it’s often an ecosystem of integration, cloud services, and open source code. While this enables rapid development and scalability, each integration point increases the potential for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. 


⚠️ Rapid Deployments

HR tech, like all SaaS solutions, faces constant pressure to roll out new features and integrations quickly. But security can be deprioritized in the race to deliver, leading to overlooked vulnerabilities. 


At bifrost security, we work to harden the runtime security of HR Tech and protect against evolving cyber threats. So you can deliver trusted, compliant, and resilient solutions to your customers by… 


  • “Shield right” approach

We defend your systems where they matter most: in production. With runtime policies, real-time threat detection, and active blocking, bifrost security keeps your platform compliant and secure, even after deployment.


  • Reducing Exposure to Cyber Threats

We help HR tech providers minimize their attack surface using a zero-trust approach. Only whitelisted behavior is permitted, while vulnerabilities introduced through third-party components are detected and blocked.


  • CI/CD Integration

Seamlessly integrate bifrost into your existing workflow, automating security checks without slowing down deployments.
