Abstract

This research analyses the current literature on IT security outsourcing and the organisational attitudes towards this approach to determine the applicability of outsourcing IT security in a commercial environment. A conceptual model is developed as the main goal of research which provides guidance in the process of outsourcing IT security functions to a third-party security service provider. The research conducted has established a complete process for outsourcing IT security.
