Harassment and Discrimination

A subject engages in unauthorized conduct that amounts to harassment or discriminatory behavior within the workplace, targeting individuals or groups based on protected characteristics, such as race, gender, religion, or other personal attributes. Incidents of harassment and discrimination may expose the organization to legal risks, potential reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. Additionally, individuals affected by such behavior may be at higher risk of retaliating or disengaging from their work, potentially leading to further insider risks.
