Data Security in Indian Outsourcing

Filed in archive Outsourcing Issues on September 29, 2006

As you have read in various research reports and news, the Indian outsourcing industry is really set for a bigger growth in the years to come. Despite of that, taking care of one vital problem would boost the Indian outsourcing industry far more than the usual.

The vital problem? Data Security. This means that ensuring security and privacy of data would mean a lot in the Indian outsourcing industry because many firms are still fearful of data theft and loss involved in outsourcing.

The National Association of Software Services Companies (NASSCOM) have already developed different rules and guidelines to ensure that there is security in the data and information being outsourced. Though that is the case, their campaign would not be successful if outsourcing vendors would not have an initiative to provide security in their outsourcing contracts.
