Event Synopsis:
Outsourcing allows an institution to offer its customers enhanced services without the various expenses involved in owning the required technology or maintaining the human capital required to deploy and operate it. In many situations, outsourcing offers the institution a cost effective alternative to in-house capabilities. Outsourcing, however, does not reduce the fundamental risks associated with information technology or the business lines that use it.
Financial institutions should have a comprehensive outsourcing risk management process to govern their technology service provider (TSP) relationships. The process should include risk assessment, selection of service providers, contract review, and monitoring of service providers. Outsourced relationships should be subject to the same risk management, security, privacy, and other policies that would be expected if the financial institution were conducting the activities in-house.
The Knowledge Group is producing a Live webcast that will explore the issues and concerns surrounding this topic.
