E-Verify
U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States – either U.S. citizens, or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization. This diverse workforce contributes greatly to the vibrancy and strength of our economy, but that same strength also attracts unauthorized employment. E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States.
PEO Defender
PEO Defender is an organization that is tasked with helping all participants (service suppliers and PEOs) with tools, resources, and information that will lower security risks. This industry alliance will be overseen by volunteer leaders from organizations in the industry and will act much like NATO was designed (an attack against one is an attack against all).
SOC (Security Operation Center) certifications are a way to validate the maturity and effectiveness of an organization's security operations. They show that an organization has the ability to detect, respond to, and remediate cybersecurity incidents.
