This can easily affect business continuity such as through loss of vital company information.
The HR manager can help in ensuring that that those employees who are in possession of company data, handle it with a lot of caution. For example, they should be made aware of the company policy on handling data. They should also be monitored on how they are handling the data. Moreover, the HR department should have their contact and help them out whenever they face problems of data loss.
