Having a perfect outsourcing contract is surely the key. The interesting thing here is even though the practice of outsourcing is not really novel now, organizations haven’t yet perfected it. There are numerous cases where outsourcing contracts have been broken for some reason or the other. I think one of the reasons for this is the rapid advance in the computer and telecommunication technology. Outsourcing contracts often span multiple years sometimes even decade long. Now during these years, there is a lot of progress in the telecommunication and IT sector. So the privacy rules and regulations that were framed during the contract writing get outdated pretty soon. I think the way privacy audits are conducted and the carefulness with which amendments to the outsourcing contracts are made must be the key to the success of outsourcing arrangements.
