Information Systems – Risk Management wk4
Project description
Prepare a 3 page paper that identifies the possible risks to an organization in each of the following outsourcing situations:
The use of an external service provider for your data storage
The use of an enterprise service provider for processing information systems applications such as a payroll, human resources, or sales order taking
The use of a vendor to support your desktop computers;
The use of a vendor to provide network support.
The paper will include a risk mitigation strategy for each situation. One mitigation strategy, because of personnel and facility limitations, cannot be proposed in the paper, because it eliminates the outsourcing by bringing the situation in house.
