What Is Outsourced Technology Law?
States and the federal government have addressed the various areas of outsourced technology law, which deals with the outsourcing of information technology tasks. Though some states have outsourcing regulations, U.S. federal law does not specifically guide outsourcing transactions. However, outsourced activities must still meet any regulatory requirements of the government, whether the outsourced technology services are in the U.S. or overseas. The Federal Trade Commission states that U.S. companies who use outsourcing vendors are still legally responsible for the business performed by the outsourced firm. For example, banks are responsible for data security, whether that information is in their hands or being stored by an outside company, locally or overseas.
