Outsourcing is a process whereby a company or corporation will hire another company to perform functions that would cost them so much to handle themselves. The decision to outsource is often made in the interest of lowering cost, redirecting, or conserving energy directed at competencies of a business, or to make more efficient use of labor, capital, technology and resources.

Outsourcing providers assume and manage much of these risks for you, with specific industry knowledge, especially security and compliance's issues.
