Offshoring risks are many and they are generally understood in the same contexts as risks related to IT project or information security management. First, in terms of probabilities that identified undesirable events will or will not occur as the project or initiative is executed. And secondly, in terms of the source of the occurrence of those bad events -- financial, people, technical, geographic, and so on. But another approach to risk assessment exists that can provide managers a fresh understanding of the risks involved in offshoring.
