SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT IN PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT: THE ROLE OF COMMUNICATION AUDITS AS AN EVALUATION TOOL

Abstract

Purpose of the research: to analyze the role of communication audits as a security risk assessment tool in the organization's personnel management system and develop recommendations for their effective integration into existing security protocols. Research methodology: The study employs a systematic approach to analyzing the relationship between communication audits and security risk assessment in personnel management. A comprehensive theoretical framework was developed through the analysis of existing literature, focusing on the integration of communication practices with security protocols. The research methodology includes systematic review, comparative analysis, and theoretical generalization methods to evaluate the effectiveness of communication audits in risk assessment. Results: The study has identified several key findings that contribute to the understanding of communication audits' role in security risk assessment. First, the research established a clear correlation between effective communication protocols and enhanced security measures in personnel management. Critical security risks in human resource management were identified and categorized, including data breaches, internal threats, and mismanagement of confidential employee information. The study developed a structured methodology for conducting communication audits, incorporating security considerations at each stage of the audit process. Furthermore, the research revealed that successful implementation of communication audits significantly improves risk identification and assessment capabilities within organizations. The analysis also highlighted the importance of integrating communication audits with existing security protocols, demonstrating how this integration strengthens overall organizational security. Key components of effective communication audits were identified, including assessment of message clarity, communication channel effectiveness, and employee engagement levels. The study revealed both challenges and benefits of implementing communication audits as security measures, providing practical solutions for overcoming common obstacles while maximizing potential advantages. Practical significance: The research provides practical recommendations for organizations seeking to enhance their security risk assessment through communication audits. A comprehensive framework for integrating communication audits into existing security protocols has been developed, offering step-by-step guidelines for implementation. This framework includes specific measures for risk assessment, audit procedures, and evaluation metrics, making it applicable across various organizational contexts. The findings contribute to improving organizational security systems by providing practical tools for risk management and communication assessment, ultimately enhancing both personnel management and security protocols.
