Business owners have a responsibility to meet regulatory and compliance standards within their industry, and that obligation extends to any third-party business process outsourcing (BPO) companies they hire for support. This makes BPO compliance just as important as having strict internal standards. Understanding adherence obligations for outsourcing providers can help you find a dedicated partner who\u2019s committed to protecting your business, clients, and reputation.<\/p>\n

What Is BPO Compliance?<\/h2>\n

BPO compliance encompasses all the rules, regulations, and contractual agreements that outsourcing organizations need to uphold. This can include both laws and general industry best practices.<\/p>\n

These regulations can vary depending on the kind of outsourcing work they perform; for example, an organization that focuses on healthcare call center services<\/a> might primarily be concerned about HIPAA and medical data regulations, while an accounting outsourcing team would likely focus on following tax law and financial laws. Because outsourcing teams can handle a wide range of back-office and administrative services, it\u2019s critical for them to understand regulatory expectations across all industries they serve.<\/p>\n

The Importance of BPO Compliance<\/h2>\n

BPO providers must comply with legal requirements and industry standards to function successfully. If an outsourcing business doesn\u2019t value compliance, it could actively put its clients in jeopardy. For example, if an outsourcing organization has a data breach and doesn\u2019t follow the proper steps to disclose and correct the issue, they could damage trust with clients \u2014 and their clients\u2019 customers \u2014 along with getting into legal trouble and incurring fines.<\/p>\n

When outsourcing companies take compliance seriously, they establish a reputation for professionalism and attention to detail, which fosters client trust. Because clients know they won\u2019t run into regulatory issues when outsourcing their operations, they can confidently use outsourcing to help their businesses grow<\/a>.<\/p>\n
