It's about time that security and privacy be factored into offshoring decisions. My own experience has been that one person's culture impacts his/her grasp of security and privacy. Some cultures have bartering concepts built every aspects of life and therefore may not offer the level of robustness-against-bribery that might be expected. Anyone heard of "baksheesh?"
The Gartner report ranks countries based on 10 criteria, which include: language, government support, labor pool, infrastructure, educational system, cost, political and economic environment, cultural compatibility, global and legal maturity, and data and intellectual property security and privacy.
