Whether it is outsourcing non-core activities to reduce fixed costs and offer greater flexibility, or combining internal teams with outsourced teams for collaborative design, development engineering or manufacturing processes, outsourcing holds the promise of significant cost savings or greater business flexibility. It can also generate tremendous competitive advantages for companies that can seamlessly integrate outsourced design, development, or process operations into their own creating highly effective collaborative working environments.
For companies to exploit the benefits of outsourcing, they need data security capabilities that can manage the increased risks inherent in sharing proprietary and confidential information with partners that are located in remote locations around the world. Regulated companies in particular, must ensure that their outsourcing providers maintain the same levels and standards of care in protecting private customer and employee data that would be expected within their own operations.
The key to integrating outsourced activities is the ability to exchange operational data and other essential but highly sensitive information seamlessly and rapidly. However, in exchanging this information, global corporations also run the risk of exposing themselves to data loss that can result in direct damages and public embarrassment that often cannot be recouped through legal actions, or other means.
Whether the outsourced business activity involves the sharing of source code, customer records, internal employee or financial data, Digital Guardian’s core “Point of Use” control, monitoring, and auditing capabilities dramatically reduce the risk of data loss or misuse operations.
