What type of records are considered pertinent in law enforcement's role in Insider Threat Programs?

In the context of law enforcement's role in Insider Threat Programs, records of law enforcement interactions and court records are particularly pertinent because they directly relate to the legal enforcement aspects of addressing insider threats. These records can provide valuable insights into an individual’s past behavior, potential criminal activity, or patterns that might indicate risks to security within an organization.

Law enforcement interactions might reveal prior incidents of misconduct, complaints, or investigations that have implications for insider threat assessments. Court records can document formal charges, convictions, or protective orders, all of which contribute to understanding an individual’s background and trustworthiness within a sensitive organizational context.

On the other hand, while employee work records may provide insights into job performance and behavior, they do not typically encompass the criminal or legal context necessary for assessing threats from an insider perspective. Corporate financial audits, although important for overall organizational health, do not specifically address the individual behaviors that may indicate potential insider threats. Health records and medical history, while crucial for privacy and well-being, lack relevance to evaluating the threat level an individual may pose regarding insider risks. Thus, law enforcement records are integral for comprehensive threat assessment and response strategies in insider threat programs.
