SATURDAY DATA MEMO from Green Cabbage Inc. Do you really know who has access to your confidential data when selecting a partner? You may be surprised to find out that it is being shared with another party after you ink the deal. Please, read on. Regardless of industry, it's getting out of hand and perhaps it is reflective of the skill set shortage, new services into market, not required to pay benefits, cheaper than w2 employees, or they are interested in higher margins? A few tips think and ask prior to engaging into a contract to ensure data protection and confidentiality is #1 priority: ✅ Is your data being shared via a secure platform, encrypting the data at rest & inflight? ✅ Does the firm employee FULL TIME EMPLOYEES that are bound by confidentiality as agents/contractors? 😡 Or do they bid out to 1099 consultants and share your confidential information? We recommend you ask that question. 😡 Are the proper background checks being conducted on employees and risk assessments comply with corporate policies? 😡 If they are using 1099 contractors, and do you think they are running background checks? Companies are still operating under a 2-tiered 1099 model and recently we have seen a firms brag about their model in a LinkedIn post. Hey, want to learn more about this topic?
