Face to Face Meeting of the Data Security Chapter
The Data Security Chapter of IAOP held a face to face meeting at the 2006 Summit on February 20, 2006. Pat Fisher, President of Janus Associates, Tom Grubb, Chapter Chair and Heather Mark (CISSP) presented growing evidence that data security poses a significant challenge to service providers and their customers. An informal survey was conducted to determine the attitude of those in the outsourcing industry regarding the protection of sensitive data. Download the survey results here. After the formal presentation, suggestions for future topics and speakers were discussed.
Inaugural Meeting of the Data Security Chapter
The inaugural meeting of the Data Security Chapter was held on February 14th, 2006 at 2:00 pm Eastern Time via web conference. The meeting was hosted by chapter chair Tom Grubb of Vormetric.

Chairman’s Summary
The Data Security Chapter of the IAOP, bringing together providers, their customers and advisors that use sensitive digital information in the course of conducting outsourcing business, held its first meeting on February 14th, 2006 via teleconference and web-seminar.
IAOP Executive Director Michael Corbett provided an overview of the outsourcing industry and the IAOP. Tom Grubb described the Data Security chapter goals and objectives, followed by information describing why data security matters to outsourcing professionals. Mr. Grubb explained that disclosure laws such as California SB1386 push data theft into the media, which prompts customers and consumers to demand more legislation to protect data. Then he used a case study to show how a single public data breach at an India-based service provider caused long lasting brand damage evidenced by almost 10,000 Google many months after the breach occurred.
Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of Ponemon Institute, and Sandra Hughes, chief privacy officer of Procter & Gamble presented the Vendor Information Clearinghouse, a framework developed by the Ponemon Institute. Ponemon and Hughes explained that the VIC is a Web-based infrastructure and process for registering qualified vendors and for disclosing baseline qualifications for handling information about people and households. They invited outsourcing professionals to consider adopting the VIC as a means for customers to validate service providers they are dealing with. This validation process will help construct and corroborate confidence in doing business where private data is exchanged between service provider and vendor.
Tom Grubb from Vormetric wrapped up the meeting with the encouragement to submit ideas, thoughts and suggestions to IAOP in order for the group to continue to grow and remain topically focused for 2006. Topic suggestions may be sent to her directly at tgrubb@vormetric.com.
