Business Guidance

'Intellect Data Security and Data Protection Guidelines for Offshoring and Outsourcing' has been written to encourage vendors and customers to work together to anticipate and address the data security and data protection issues which may affect the success of their outsourcing projects.

Data security and data protection have become headline news in the UK. Regulators have become much more proactive in penalising companies which do not comply with data security and data protection requirements.

This set of guidelines is intended primarily for customers who, typically, do not deal as often as vendors with the data issues that arise in an outsourcing context.

The guidelines will also be a useful tool for vendors. They provide a resource for enabling the parties to work in partnership to address at an early stage issues which, if ignored, can cause unnecessary cost and delay later in the project.
