Treadstone 71 evaluates the risk ramifications before implementation of an
outsourcing agreement. We know you are
eager to cut costs by contracting out work.
Before you rush through the evaluation and agreement phase without fully
understanding, let alone addressing the risks. Treadstone 71 ensures proper due
diligence before an external party starts accessing sensitive data.
Once the process starts, controls for continuous review processes must be
in place to ensure that expectations are being met.
When external parties handle sensitive or regulated data, it is imperative that
some form of written agreement specifies what is expected of each party as
clearly and concisely as possible.
Many times in these instances, politics takes the forefront.
Treadstone 71 ensures that penalties for violation of information
protection requirements are not only included but sustain a prominent place in
the contract servicing as both primary and compensating controls.
Contract requirements provide outsourcers with the motivation to be secure, but
they cannot guarantee program maturity. Unless
compliance can be verified,
contracts are weak mechanisms that do not "fail safe."
Metrics for measurement needs to be in place as well as clearly defined
operations level agreements, service level agreements and master service level
agreements.
Treadstone 71 ensures you have the plans in place for analyzing, controlling and maintaining the risk inherent with outsourcing.
While processes are extremely important, increasingly, the most effective way to reduce the rate of security failures is the combined use of technical controls that limit data access as tightly as possible and automated monitoring systems that detect anomalous use of data.
Treadstone 71’s trusted
services takes you through the maze of this jungle.
