"Data Security in IT Outsourcing: Best Practices to Protect Your Business"

The cost of cybercrime often falls upon the shoulders of businesses that lack the necessary means to protect their confidential data. While we might believe that such companies are negligible, official numbers depict a different story.

As per research conducted by the State of Application Security Report by Indusface, over one billion global cyber attacks were recorded in 2023 Q1. This suggests the widening gap between the desired security measures and the reality, especially in the companies that outsource their IT infrastructure.

Such a gap can be bridged with reliable data security practices that hold the capacity to smoothen the IT outsourcing process without compromising on security and confidentiality. If that is what you are looking for in your business, the following blog post holds the answers.

Strategic Selection of the IT Outsourcing Service Provider

Data security in IT outsourcing is a serious concern, and it is necessary to select a service provider that not only delivers results but also maintains the sanctity of data in doing so. .

An IT outsourcing with a stringent security policy and intellectual property protection laws is a must. Furthermore, the security of their servers and procedures must be weighed in before the final call is made. .

Additional Note: Companies that follow the guidelines of the ISMS (Information Security Management System) can be trusted with confidential information.

Transparent Communication Regarding Expectations and Data Training

Communicating the data expectations from the first go is essential in strengthening the IT outsourcing process. Be it along the lines of data ownership, timelines, or project scope- it is necessary to have a single channel of communication between the company and the IT outsourcing service provider.

Additionally, clear instructions should be provided regarding data handling so that the IT outsourcing infrastructure team can manage the data in an irreproachable manner.

Limiting Data Access

As per IBM and Ponemon Institute report, the average cost of a data breach reached USD 4.35 million in 2022, and the same is expected to touch USD 5 million by the end of 2023.

Such exorbitant costs can be avoided from its very root by indulging in limited data access. These limitations can be levied by allowing remote work through a uniform cloud service.

Investing in Regular and Reliable Backup Technology

Data recovery and backup is a paramount asset for any organization.

Why?

Because malicious attacks like phishing, malware, and ransomware are specifically designed to go after the company’s data. Not only does it hold the capacity to disrupt regular business operations, but it can also render sensitive data at the hands of the cyber attacker.

Such situations can be avoided by ensuring that the IT outsourcing provider indulges in regular data backups so that your business can bounce back and resume operations, come what may.

Implementing Potent Security Measures

Along with regular security assessment, selecting an IT outsourcing service provider that infuses intrusion detection & prevention system, firewalls, in-transit and at-rest encryption, multi-factor authentication, zero-trust security models, etc., is a prerequisite.

An IT outsourcing service provider that works along the lines of a secure virtual environment turns out to be beneficial in the long run, given the fact that the security measures are reviewed regularly.
