In addition to technology based security, audits and process controls, it is important to conduct a workshop with the outsourced team on different aspects of security - building the right mindset, being mindful of one's actions and of those around them, being process oriented and ensuring no corners are cut, no compromise is made in the execution of the project that would pose a security risk. This combined with random audits will ensure the right behaviours and work practices are followed consistently. If the right mindset is not built, it does not matter how tall your walls are, the thieves will find a door left open.

Implement accessibility on need to have basis. In case of Financial industry project such controls are critical. Also ensure your working environment has restricted access. Protect your project data by using appropriate encryption methods.

Lots of answers based on best practice and never ending budgets. Here is the thing, Budget availability is key. Can you afford to do this/ As with all life, balancing a budget is about where you spend to mitigate risk. This is a unique ask of any IT leader as their answer is invariably different. So, my answer. What budget is available. Where is the biggest risk. What is the MVP to mitigate this risk. Apply the money and mitigation against all risk until you have no money to spend

The fundamental risks in data security revolve around data breaches, loss of data integrity and unauthorized access. Establish Clear Expectations with the Outsourcing IT team. Implement stringent measures to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure and data transfer. Limit the access and do active monitoring with tools that provide real-time monitoring of user activities within the systems. This helps in identifying suspicious behavior promptly. Give security training for security awareness and develop, enforce policies for privacy, compliance, and security incident management. Keep the business continuity plans and use latest technologies Periodic reviews of technology and continual monitoring of the newest security threats is the need.

Data Security in any outsourcing engagement is critical to establish trust with our clients. Having implemented Data security for large outsourcing engagement recently in HealthCare and patented solution, here's what I would do. I would start with establishing framework that is built on Zero Trust (ZT). Process or policies, do not work as people are the weakest links and tools/technologies might not have built-in security controls. Re-enforcing Data security requires ZT mindset (and obviously budget) to start with and all security controls should layer up. If we are unable to establish controls with Technology then bring in Administrative controls. Enable monitoring of controls for compliance and audit, to continuously monitor & improve.

Talvez esse seja um dos maiores desafios. E temos alguns fatores, em primeiro lugar TI é bem genérico, mas se falamos em DevOps, Operações, DBAs, SRE,.... ou toda a equipe que tem algum acesso privilegiado em produção, os cuidados devem ser redobrados. Isso vai desde o básico como o gerenciamento de identidade até soluções de acesso restrito e monitorado, como Cofre de Senhas (ou soluções derivadas...) até acessos por soluções de SASE (e nunca apenas uma VPN). Segurança não é um monte de soluções, é sim uma estratégia feita em camadas e análise de risco.

implement strict access controls and conduct regular audits. In a recent project, setting up role-based permissions and encrypting sensitive data reduced security risks by 35%. Clear SLAs outlining security responsibilities keep teams accountable and projects protected.

Ao ter uma equipe terceirizada de TI, como pratica de gestão de fornecedores, devemos deixar claro, ou melhor registrar em contrato ou mesmo em um documento de respeito as regras operacionais e de segurança. O parceiro de TI deve se comprometer a seguir as regras definidas pela organização. Para trabalhar na nossa organização o parceiro tem que seguir e estar comprometido em estar em conformidade com as nossas definições e controles de segurança da informação.

Some simple rules for prevention and technology controls to follow: 1) create awareness of the business context of the data. Make the team take ownership of the criticality and sensitivity around breaches. Sense of ownership drives purpose. 2) enrypt, tokwnise, mask data where possible. In regulated industry these may be compliance requirements. 3) strong authentication and access controls implementation 4) use DLP tools and processes in any project - jnternal or outsourced. 4)
