Many companies ignore the security problems associated with IT outsourcing until it is too late, it has been claimed.
According to the Information Security Forum (ISF), IT outsourcing and offshoring are attractive because of their potential to cut costs and increase speed to market.
Simone Seth, author of a new report published by the group, said the long term success of the outsourcing project can be damaged by a lack of security expertise or poorly identified information risk.
"Failure to involve information risk managers at the start of a project and through its lifecycle increases the enterprise's exposure to risk," she continued, adding that this could constitute data theft, information leakage or disputes that may arise from questions of ownership of intellectual property.
Earlier this week, the Irish Sunday Business Post reported comments made by the PFH Technology Group, which claimed businesses of all sizes are now choosing to outsource their IT operations and requiring different approaches from their service providers.
