In today’s world information/data is very valuable thing for any business or industry, this information can be related to any type i.e. personal information of customer, customer contact details, bank information, credit card information and sensitive data/information like research documents, technology development documents, medical history or status report, army records, defense related information etc. with the boom in BPO and outsourcing industry the concern for data security and information breach is goes on all time high. We regularly heard about data and security breach in these BPOs and Call Centers either form India or from other outsourcing destinations.

The outsourcing train has left the station with many top financial, health care, tax reporting and credit reporting companies on board. Industry observers warn that if outsourcing isn't done thoughtfully, with proper security controls beyond the encrypted domain level.

To protect the data mishandling here are few best tips which we can follow.

Security Audit

If you are providing the financial data or health data, you are authorized to know the safeguard method of the outsourcing company. You can take full information of security plan that has administrative, technical and physical steps for the customer’s data protection. Some outsourcing vendors conduct audits against vertical industry standards. Health care companies should see an audit related to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.

Must Be Good Environment at Work Place

The outsourcing companies are working to protect your sensitive data very effectively. In the office the transfer of data information is not so much easy. Lot of outsourcing companies are not providing any output devices for excess in the floor except monitor. To provide the good and trustable services the work place is always look neat and clean. Agent’s systems and output devices are disabled. Agent can’t copy, can't use a hard drive or a PDA to get information out of there. This shows that the outsourcing company is also very serious about your data protection. It is sign of a good outsourcing company.

Data Authorization

Your data can be accessible by only authorized officer of the company and then it is provided to the agent in read mode only so that agent could not do any changes or copy paste. A customized screen will pop up at the outsourcing facility with only a few options. All the agents and the project manager have different login ids with validation. Server is giving a good support to track the information about the work done by each agents.

The Staff Members

At the last we are all human being so the chances of data leaking are always high. No matter how many safety precautions are taken, it's hard to stop the opportunist who steals data for money or revenge. But here we can reduce it by providing a good environment to the staff members and to really taking care of them.

First way to secure the data starts by informing the importance of data security to the agents. After that if outsourcing companies could find any defaulter they can go for the legal actions according to Law of the country.
