Is Your Outsourced Provider Protecting Your Sensitive Data?
Outsourcing can offer significant benefits to businesses – cost savings, scalability, and access to specialist expertise, to name a few. But when you’re outsourcing critical functions that involve handling sensitive or confidential information, there’s one crucial question you need to ask: Is your outsourced provider doing enough to protect your data?
Why Cybersecurity Matters More Than Ever
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue, it’s a fundamental business necessity. With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated and data breaches carrying severe financial and reputational consequences, businesses must be diligent about who they entrust with their data. 
If your outsourcing partner doesn’t have the right protections in place, your business could be exposed to unnecessary risk.
Our Commitment to Data Security
At Cashroom, we take cybersecurity seriously. It’s built into everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to be Cyber Essentials Plus certified and even prouder to have maintained this certification for nine consecutive years.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a government-backed, industry-supported certification that demonstrates a business’s commitment to protecting itself (and its clients) from a wide range of the most common cyber threats.
Achieving and maintaining this certification means we:
- Have implemented rigorous internal security controls
- Undergo annual third-party assessments and testing
- Ensure best practices across our systems, processes, and team
What This Means for You
When you choose Cashroom, you’re not just outsourcing financial and back-office functions. You’re partnering with a team that puts the protection of your data front and centre.
- Reduced risk of data breaches
- Independent verification of our security practices
- Ongoing commitment to cybersecurity excellence
What to Look for in an Outsourcing Partner
Before you share sensitive data with any external supplier, it’s essential to ask:
- Do they have recognised cybersecurity certifications, like Cyber Essentials Plus?
- How often are their systems tested and audited?
- What internal policies and staff training do they have around data protection?
- Are they transparent about how your data is handled and stored?
If the answers aren’t clear or reassuring, it may be time to reassess.
