Wanted: Secured Outsourcing

Filed in archive Outsourcing Issues on October 24, 2006

Companies that are into outsourcing are forever worrying regarding the security status of their outsourcing contracts. If I were in their case, I would have done the exact same thing.

This worrying could be seen through the latest survey done by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals, it showed that more than 90% of the respondents revealed that experiencing these "security breaches" would be catastrophic to their business. Aside from that, 45% of the respondents also revealed that they are more worried about security as compared before.

One answer suggested for security problems in outsourcing is the implementation of "standards". Providing standardization in every outsourcing transaction would more or less assure that the data as well as business information being outsourced would be protected.
