Outsourcing has become a critical facet of increasing operational efficiencies and lowering costs for many global organizations. Whether it is outsourcing non-core activities or combining internal teams with outsourced teams for collaborative design, development, engineering, or manufacturing - outsourcing holds the promise of significant cost savings and greater business flexibility. Outsourcing can generate tremendous competitive advantages for companies that can seamlessly integrate outsourced design, development, or process operations into their own and create highly collaborative working environments.
Inherent in outsourcing, however, is the significant risk posed by the need to share proprietary and confidential information across widely geographically dispersed third parties. The damages due to local laws, and the embarrassment caused by the loss of information in foreign locations are impossible to recouperate through legal action. Regulated companies, in particular, must ensure that their outsourcing providers maintain the same level of security in protecting customer, employee, and IP data as they do. Implementing bulky solutions that reduce collaboration and complicate outsourcing processes is costly, ineffective, and diminishes the large benefits offered by outsourcing. A good solution is one that not only does not interfere with existing processes, but enables even more collaboration while providing comprehensive monitoring and control capabilities.
Whether the outsourced business activity involves the sharing of design documents, customer and employee records, or regulated data such as ITAR and EAR data, Verdasys’ Enterprise Information Protection (EIP) solutions can offer the protection you need. Through discovery, categorization, classification, control, monitoring, and auditing, Verdasys' solutions have the capabilities needed to dramatically reduce the risk of data loss or misuse across global operations and disparate infrastructures. |
