Outsourcing can create risks such as loss of control over a project (1) since operations are managed externally, and loss of private information (4) if data security and confidentiality are not managed effectively. Loss of assets (2) typically refers to internal asset disposal, not outsourcing. Loss of future business opportunities (3) is more linked to strategic misalignment, not a core outsourcing risk. Responsible sourcing emphasises that outsourcing should include robust governance, contractual protections, and supplier monitoring to manage risks of data leakage, reduced oversight, and potential ethical breaches.
