Common challenges and outlook for service providers
Service providers face a unique challenge in the current economic environment. They are left with an important responsibility not only in client data security but also in many regulatory requirements to which their clients are subject. Additionally, many service providers cannot afford the extensive cost to produce a SAS 70 type report, which does not address the requirements of such things as PCI compliance. It is no longer acceptable to assume a service provider is protecting a client's data; verification is required. Even more so, service providers that handle client critical data need to ensure that they are handling data correctly and are in compliance with the same regulations that affect their clients.
