Data security is the number one concern when it comes to outsourcing.
This is totally understandable, with you and your OFS working a thousand miles from each other and having work hours that are the complete opposite.
Regarding technology, you don’t have to worry about your OFS’ computers because what we’re using here (anywhere you may be) is the same as what they are using there.
You can put firewalls, VPNs, passwords, etc. – there are many ways to make outsourcing safe for you and your business. In fact, the weakest link is actually you and your OFS – the human side of things.
Our team recently experienced a threat called social engineering.
Social engineering is manipulating, influencing, or deceiving you into revealing specific information or performing a particular action for illegitimate reasons.
Our blog has many practical tips like this one. Head on to our outsourcing education page to catch the whole series.
