Risks connected with outsourcing When business processes are outsourced, sensitive data may be transmitted, stored and processed on both company and vendor networks. This data needs to be protected from loss, corruption and leakage (intentional and accidental). Responsibility for your data cannot be outsourced! Regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and Basel II mandate that risk management policies extend to third-party vendors, outsourcers, contractors and consultants. 13
Managing outsourcing risks A solid risk management strategy when outsourcing processes should include: A contract outlining the respective responsibilities for data security between the outsource organization and your business, underpinned by clear and managed Service Level Agreements. Consistent monitoring of performance to ensure that contract stipulations and service levels regarding data security are being met. Guidelines regarding who will have access to what information as part of the contract, including a clear segregation of duties between the outsource organization and the business. Stipulations to ensure that regulatory compliance guidelines are met and a method to monitor this compliance. For example annual ISAE3402 Type II statements for SOX compliance. 14
