The same thing happened to me. IT findings due to HR never letting us know user has been terminated.
There are so many hilarious social engineering stories from pentest guys about how they exploited the idiots in HR to basically get anything they wanted.
Funny for the pentest guys. Not so funny for the CISO having to explain why the company completely bombed their ISO or SOC2 audit to the CEO and Board of Directors.
Of course it's never HR's fault.

No one gives a shite that you’re a senior associate in internal controls nerd

HR is there to protect the company from employees, while smiling like they’re doing you a favor.
100% true.
Only exception I have seen was a company worked for that had a ton of locals in upper management. The HR lady had been there years and knew most people that worked there and their families. She was adored by the workers because she legit cared and took care of the regular workers. Warned us and advised us. Eventually after a long time corporate brought in someone over her and it all changed, because she didn’t have as much power to help the workers anymore. Every other place I have worked, anytime there was HR reps that looked out for workers they quickly were fired or moved. Same holds true for safety departments.

At least it's not full of Indians like my dump is. The two non Indians that "run" HR for Texas couldn't tell me when open enrollment started. It eventually came out that the company "didn't know" until December when they wanted open enrollment (last two years it's been in October.) I opened tickets, I called, I opened chats, for over a month before someone let the secret leak.
Then, they gave us four days of warning before open enrollment started. Enrollment was only about five days long, and you of course couldn't view the options for benefit selection weren't even available for preview until open enrollment kicked off.
Before that, these absolute frickwits got served to garnish my paycheck for child support. Until then, I had to pay through the state AG website. I asked a simple question: You received the letter, so when are you actually going to start garnishing my check, so I don't pay twice? Couldn't fricking answer.
Women in HR are bad (the gay guys seem more competent based on what I've seen over the last 20 years), but Indians are a shocking level of incompetence, because the culture dictates that they just don't give a shite about "associates."

It’s become a bastion of girl bosses, LGBTQ+, and DEI hires.
Everyone who actually has to produce something for a living hates them.
AI can’t come for the HR department fast enough. Most of the shite they are responsible for would easily be handled by a computer.

But, surely you see that his HR department is competent, because they're all in the office.

My wife was accidentally fired right before we had a child. We received automated Cobra paperwork which is the only reason we inquired WTF was going on. The acted like no big deal.

She was accidentally fired or she was fired and no one told her?

Accidentally fired. HR Manager mistakenly fired her in the HR system; she was not fired. No one in the business knew about it until we received the COBRA paperwork and we started asking questions. Thankfully it all got sorted out prior to heading to the hospital.

I asked the last client I worked for who they used for background checks. I asked if they'd reviewed the SOC2 on a corp pulling PII on thousands of prospective employees a year. HR didn't know what a SOC2 was. Then I found out the copies of the background check results were being emailed as unencrypted PDFs to the client. JFC.

Why are you like 50 asking these questions? That’s what staff is for

The shithole I work for puts me on engagements as the only security/privacy guy, no matter the size of the project.
I delegate as much as possible to anyone that has an inkling of interest, to try and coach them, but almost none exist. Complete bag of shite compared to what I interviewed for.

ATS and how much I make are killing me, especially being in Houston and not DFW or AUS. I even went to the point of applying to KPMG as a manager, shock horror.

We use RBAC and such, based on workday dept IDs to streamline application provisioning - it’s almost as bad as missing terms. HR puts the janitor in the wrong dept and he can end up with financial data on our clients (limited, but any inappropriate visibility to client data is not good in finserv).
It’s been explained to the hyphenated last name HR team plenty of times and they just don’t get it. It’s almost like I need to hijack their personal bank accounts and tell them my bad when I seize all their funds
