Explanation
Insider threat consultants are third-party specialists who can objectively assess an organization's overall exposure from social media - evaluating policies, patterns, and aggregate risk - without singling out individual employees or violating their privacy. This provides an expert, impartial threat assessment. Requiring employees to disclose their accounts directly targets individuals and raises privacy and morale concerns. Big Data algorithms, while capable of aggregate analysis, still process personal data and can inadvertently profile individuals. Social engineering tests evaluate awareness training effectiveness, not the organization's social media threat surface.
