Payroll Under Pressure: Securing Data, Managing Risk, and Staying in Control

Let’s face it payroll holds some of the most sensitive data in the business and that makes global payroll no longer just an operational function; it’s a critical point of risk. As organizations expand across borders, manage sensitive employee data, and navigate increasingly complex regulatory environments, payroll teams are being asked to do more than ensure accuracy, they’re being asked to safeguard the business.

In this expert-led session, hosted by the Global Payroll Alliance, CloudPay’s Chief Security & Risk Officer, Tim Grieveson is joined by Nick Read, an EoR expert from Globalization Partners , to explore how organizations are strengthening control across global payroll in the face of growing risk and uncertainty.

We’ll look at where exposure is really increasing -from fragmented systems and manual processes to the intersection of payroll and global employment - and how leading organizations are responding. The discussion will focus on improving data security, increasing visibility, and building more resilient operating models that reduce risk without slowing down global growth.

We’ll also touch on how evolving workforce models, including Employer of Record (EOR), are changing the risk landscape, and what payroll teams need to consider to maintain oversight and control.

Designed for payroll professionals, this session offers a practical, expert-led perspective on how to better protect payroll operations, strengthen governance, and operate with greater confidence in an unpredictable environment.
