For HR

Employee records. Confidential. Audited. Retained.

HR data is the most regulated, most sensitive, and longest-retained data in any company. BigMind Resilience ships WORM-immutable storage for record retention, workspace-level access for confidentiality, and an audit log for every access.

The pain

HR holds the data you can never afford to lose — or leak.

Personnel files, performance reviews, compensation records, termination documents, harassment investigations, accommodations, leave records, I-9s, W-4s, and benefits enrollment. Federal labor regulations require 7+ years of post-employment retention for many record types; state laws and EEOC preservation guidance can extend that to a decade or more. Meanwhile the confidentiality bar is unusually high — leaked compensation data becomes a lawsuit, and a leaked investigation file becomes a spoliation problem on top of the original allegation. Most generic backup tools write rewriteable storage, keep audit logs that aren’t structured for litigation, and lack workspace-level isolation between HR and the rest of the company.

Retention

A retention horizon measured in years, not days.

Federal labor regulations require 7+ years of post-employment retention for many record types; state laws and EEOC discrimination-claim guidance can push that further. Set the policy once and the long-tail retention track keeps records for the full horizon — no manual purges, no expired files.

  • Configurable per policy — 1 year through 10+ years.
  • WORM lock means even admins can’t delete a record before its horizon ends.
  • A dedicated long-tail track preserves the post-employment window automatically.

Confidentiality

An HR-only workspace the rest of the company can’t see.

HR data sits in its own role-locked Workspace with a separate audit log. People outside HR can’t view, list, or search its contents — so compensation and investigation files stay inside the team that owns them.

  • Limit access down to one or two named people with role-based access.
  • Separate audit log scoped to the HR workspace.
  • Pair with secure share links — password-protected, expiring, and revocable — to hand off onboarding packets without granting account access.

Litigation readiness

An audit log that holds up as chain of custody.

Every access — read, write, share-attempt, delete-attempt — is logged with user, timestamp, and IP, and exports to CSV or JSON. When a claim is active, pin specific files or whole investigation folders under litigation hold; the WORM lock survives the active investigation period.

  • Litigation hold pins files or folders while claims are open.
  • WORM lock survives admin deletion — stolen credentials can’t erase evidence.
  • Exportable access log feeds chain-of-custody and compliance reporting.

FAQ

HR questions, answered.

Can HR access be limited to one or two specific people?

Yes. An HR-only Workspace combined with role-based access lets you restrict who can view, edit, or share personnel data down to named individuals.

What about subpoenas or litigation hold?

A WORM lock survives admin deletion, so pinned files stay intact through an active claim. The audit log serves as the chain-of-custody artifact for the investigation.

How long can records be retained?

Retention is configurable per policy — from 1 year through 10+ years — to cover federal labor regulations, state extensions, and EEOC preservation guidance.
