Abstract

In the rapidly evolving digital era, human resource (HR) management systems have transcended traditional administrative roles and become essential pillars of organizational strategy, resilience, and innovation. Among the leading solutions shaping this transformation, Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) is a robust, cloud-based platform designed to streamline and optimize various HR functions, including talent acquisition, workforce management, employee engagement, and advanced analytics. However, as the adoption of such systems grows, so do the concerns surrounding data security and privacy, underscoring the need for robust mechanisms to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of sensitive HR data. This paper explores Oracle HCM's security framework, delving into critical features like role-based access control (RBAC), data encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and compliance management. By leveraging these advanced tools, organizations can mitigate risks, safeguard sensitive information, and ensure adherence to evolving legal and industry standards. Additionally, the study addresses common challenges organizations face when implementing these security protocols, such as resistance to change, misconfigurations, and the complexities of maintaining compliance in dynamic regulatory environments. Practical recommendations and strategies are proposed to help businesses navigate these challenges, emphasizing the importance of employee training, continuous system auditing, and integrating security into the broader organizational culture. By combining technical insights with actionable guidance, this paper aims to equip decision-makers with the knowledge needed to harness the full potential of Oracle HCM while maintaining a steadfast commitment to data security and system resilience.
