Outsource Data Security Policies at Outsource2india

Remote Servers, emails and the internet are shaping the way finance and accounting service providers transact business. But the gains of the electronic age have come at the cost of financial data security breaches and cyber crime which directly impact the bottom lines and goodwill of organizations.

Instances of identity theft, phishing and fraud have left many finance and accounting organizations open to bad press, loss of revenues and law suits worth millions followed by the inevitable tumble at the stock markets causing immeasurable loss in investor confidence. Countries like the U.S. and UK have enacted new financial data disclosure legislations to counter the rising incidence of cyber crime and to ensure improved financial IT security.

Financial Data Security at O2I

A recent study conducted on financial data security policies of global service providers concluded that most such organizations have data security measures that work only in reactive mode. That is, they kick start after lapses in finance and accounting data security are detected. Outsource2india’s core team of IT security experts made sure that we are ahead of the times in this respect.

Our financial data security policies work in a proactive 3-step process of prevention, detection and rapid response to deter potential network misuse or financial data security lapses. The experts at O2I have put in place high security service centers and surveillance systems that encompass all aspects of our clients’ business: the people, processes and technologies within the organization including all third-party vendors outside it. Outsource2india systems are devoid of external drives to avoid data duplication or copying and have restricted print permissions to prevent data misuse.

Our clients can be confident that O2I’s finance and accounting service delivery works on completely locked down system channels with data privacy measures that are secured through stringent processes and redundancy.
