Navigating the Pitfalls of IT Infrastructure Outsourcing
Is the risk of security breaches higher when outsourcing IT Infrastructure to a third party?
Outsourcing infrastructure to a third party can increase the risk of security breaches if the vendor lacks adequate security measures and policies. A good indicator of solid security practices is an ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certification. At ScienceSoft, we hold an ISO 27001 certification and maintain a mature security management system, ensuring that cooperation with us doesn’t pose any risks to our clients’ data privacy.
Is it possible to outsource IT infrastructure management and still have full control over all the ITSM processes?
ScienceSoft's IT infrastructure teams are fully self-managed, but if you want your IT manager to lead the outsourced team, we are ready to cooperate on your terms. If you would prefer to be fully informed but not involved in the day-to-day routine, ScienceSoft preserves the transparency of the process by sharing regular detailed reports.
Does IT infrastructure outsourcing entail any hidden costs or fees that are not explicitly disclosed upfront?
This may be the case if you run into an MSP that doesn’t provide a clear and comprehensive service level agreement (SLA). A detailed SLA ensures transparency and cost predictability, as it clearly outlines the scope, conditions, and frequency of services provided by your MSP.
What if I decide to switch to another vendor or hire an in-house team?
ScienceSoft guarantees no vendor lock-in. If a client decides to end our cooperation, they will receive all the deliverables (description of infrastructure components, SOPs, roadmaps for to-be initiatives) to ensure a smooth responsibility transfer.

- Change requests waiting in the backlog.
- Target budget for transformation implementation vs. budget spent.
- Application adoption metrics.
- Performance.
Help desk

- Customer satisfaction score.
- Resolution rate.
Cybersecurity
- Security incidents (detected, resolved, incident response time).
