Importance of Modern Security Standards in WFM Solutions

Written by Mat Diab | Nov 24, 2025 at 2:15 PM

When it comes to WFM, security is a serious business continuity issue. Outdated software often carries hidden vulnerabilities, and relying on legacy systems can expose organizations to costly cyberattacks, compliance failures, and operational breakdowns. Modern WFM platforms are built with security at their core, aligning with today’s evolving standards to keep data, payroll, and people protected.

The longer the solution has been on the market, 20, 30, 40 years, the more prone it is to vulnerabilities. A modern WFM natively avoids these issues because its components are kept up to date with today’s security standards.

In this clip, Mat Diab highlights:

  • Why legacy systems are especially vulnerable to cyberattacks and downtime
  • Real-world examples of security failures in older WFM solutions that halted payroll for months
  • How modern WFM platforms reduce risk through updated components and architecture
  • The role of compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, and GDPR in protecting organizations
  • Why future-ready security is a non-negotiable when selecting a WFM provider

 

Modernization is about safeguarding your operations from threats that can compromise trust, compliance, and payroll accuracy. Choosing a WFM solution that adheres to rigorous security standards ensures your workforce data stays protected from end to end.
