It is challenging, but sometimes very important for HR to work with IT and Security for scenarios where employees will be laid off, etc. as those people are often higher risk for performing unauthorized or malicious activities.

Insider threat originates from People, I see a large role from HR specifically, like they would for any misconduct/investigation/incident, and an unbiased humane view. Generally learning and development and process like background check are handled by them. Those would be imp too. Other non-IT functions like physical security, Legal , business leaders have a role as their shadow and awareness of consequences shall drive the culture.

Employee exits.. If you are not aligned with HR, you will get burned..  And don't forget those shadow IT apps.

CASB Tools are excellent to find shadow IT apps.

Info Sec partners with HR, and business unit leaders as needed, to review potential red flags for leavers (sending docs to personal email, USB, etc.).

HR is an integral part in the process and is critical in the decision process.
