Most security reviews of offshore teams start in the wrong place. They ask where the data lives when they should be asking who can reach it. An offshore team rarely moves your data — it changes the access perimeter around it. This one-page map separates residency from access, assigns each of the four access layers to a single owner, and lists the evidence to request before you sign. Built to drop straight into your vendor security questionnaire.

Overview

Data Residency vs Data Access: The One-Page Map for Security Reviewers shows where your offshore team security review should focus. An offshore team rarely moves your data. It changes who can reach it. The Four-Layer Access Map shows who owns each control and what evidence proves it.

Key Highlights

Residency and Access, Separated. Learn why access, not storage location, is the layer to test.
Four Layers, One Owner Each. See which controls stay with you, which Connext runs, and which are shared.
Evidence, Not Assurances. Know exactly what to request, from the SOC 2 Type II report to a signed HIPAA BAA.
Built for the Questionnaire Stage. Pair it with any vendor security questionnaire for an offshore team.

The Challenge

A company-wide hiring freeze left the client’s project teams without enough in-house estimators to keep pace with a growing pipeline of construction and engineering bids. In an industry where precise cost estimating is the foundation of effective project budgeting and resource allocation, every delayed estimate risked a missed submission deadline — and a lost contract.

The Approach

Connext matched the client with independent contractors who specialized in construction cost estimating, then helped rebuild a structured, multi-step budgeting process from the ground up:

“Connext gave us senior-level estimating expertise exactly when our hands were tied on headcount. We hit every bid deadline that quarter — something we weren’t sure was possible.”
