Teleperformance Morocco responds to layoff claims, citing security breach
Teleperformance in Morocco has responded to reports surrounding layoffs at the Moroccan branch of Orange, reaffirming its «commitment to respecting employees' rights and strictly complying with current laws». In a written statement sent to Yabiladi on Tuesday, July 8, the company stated that «on April 15, 2025, a security incident was reported to management». According to the statement, «an employee used her personal access badge to allow two unauthorized colleagues to enter a secured area governed by strict security protocols, particularly in relation to our PCI-DSS certification». In line with internal procedures, an investigation was carried out, including the review of surveillance footage, «conducted in full compliance with applicable regulations (CNDP authorization ref. A-PO-1074/2023)», the company added. Teleperformance stated that «the facts were formally acknowledged by the employees involved during individual interviews», and reminded that «access badges are strictly personal, and no third party is allowed entry into production areas without formal prior authorization». According to Orange Morocco, «the events constituted a serious breach of several internal policies, including the Code of Conduct, the group's data protection policy, the information systems security policy, and the IT resource usage charter». As a result, «management decided to terminate the employment contracts on grounds of gross misconduct». While acknowledging that the decision was «humanly difficult», Teleperformance emphasized «the absolute need to rigorously protect sensitive data, secure production environments, and fulfill our obligations to clients». The company added that «the disciplinary action taken in this case was solely based on a clear violation of security rules, and was in no way discriminatory». The statement comes in response to a letter circulated by the National Federation of Postal and Telecommunications Activities Employees (FAPT), part of France's General Confederation of Labor (CGT). On July 2, the union publicly criticized Orange over a labor dispute involving Teleperformance's Moroccan branch and employees affiliated with the Moroccan Labor Union (UMT). In the letter, reviewed by Yabiladi, the union denounced the dismissals as abusive, reportedly affecting three individuals.

The Importance of Penetration Testing Services in Today's Digital Landscape
In a world where cyber threats are growing more sophisticated every day, organisations of all sizes must be proactive about their digital security. Penetration testing services—often referred to as ethical hacking—play a crucial role in identifying vulnerabilities before malicious hackers can exploit them. These services simulate real-world attacks to uncover weak points in a company's networks, systems, or applications. The goal isn't to cause harm, but to improve defences and ensure sensitive data stays protected. Cybersecurity isn't just a concern for tech giants or financial institutions; even small and medium-sized businesses are frequent targets. Hackers often see them as easy prey due to less robust security infrastructure. Penetration testing services provide a clear picture of where a business stands in terms of security readiness. Rather than waiting for a breach to occur, companies can address gaps and shore up their defences ahead of time. This proactive approach helps prevent financial loss, reputational damage, and potential legal consequences. Penetration testing services come in several forms, each targeting different aspects of an organisation's environment. Network penetration testing focuses on external and internal threats to network infrastructure, while web application testing identifies issues like SQL injection and cross-site scripting in online platforms. Wireless testing checks for weaknesses in Wi-Fi networks, and social engineering tests assess how susceptible employees are to phishing attacks. A comprehensive penetration test often includes a combination of these methods to give a full-spectrum view of potential vulnerabilities. Engaging a team for penetration testing services typically involves several structured phases. First, testers gather intelligence about the target system in a process known as reconnaissance. Then, they identify potential entry points and attempt to exploit them, just as a real attacker might. After the testing phase, a detailed report is generated, highlighting vulnerabilities found, how they were exploited, and most importantly, how they can be fixed. This report serves as a roadmap for strengthening security measures. Many industries are subject to strict regulations when it comes to data protection. For example, businesses handling credit card transactions must adhere to PCI-DSS standards, while healthcare providers need to comply with HIPAA. Regular penetration testing services are often required to maintain compliance with these regulations. Not only does this help avoid hefty fines, but it also builds trust with clients and partners by demonstrating a commitment to data security. Penetration testing services aren't just a one-time fix—they're part of an ongoing strategy to protect a business in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. As cyber threats continue to advance, regular testing ensures that security systems evolve just as quickly. By identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do, organisations can maintain control over their data, protect their reputation, and operate with confidence. In today's connected world, investing in penetration testing is not just smart—it's essential. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
