Security Process Outsourcing (SPO)
Why outsourcing your security operation?
Best practices for SPO In order to enhance your security, transparency and attaining your compliance goals, it is worth keeping an unbound view and avoiding conflicts of interests. Therefore, your SPO or MSS should not be performed by the same company contracted to make BPO, datacenter, telecommunication or network asset management. The main standards in the marketplace and the best security practices advise the use of distinct companies so that threats, risks or failures do not go unnoticed. Security services should be provided by specialized companies, considering their severity and complexity.
