In the evolving landscape of data privacy, securing employee information has become a critical priority for enterprises in the United States. With the increasing adoption of cloud-based Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, organizations are leveraging platforms like Oracle HCM Cloud to manage employee data securely and efficiently. However, the reliance on cloud technology introduces new challenges, particularly concerning data protection, compliance with regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and safeguarding sensitive employee records from potential breaches. This paper explores the role of Oracle HCM Cloud in enhancing data privacy through its advanced encryption techniques, role-based access controls, and continuous monitoring frameworks. Emphasis is placed on how the platform helps organizations align with regulatory requirements while ensuring real-time data access and operational agility. Key strategies, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and data masking, are discussed to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access and insider threats.
