IT/ITES – accuverse

Trust and technology go hand in hand

Discover the hidden risks faced by the IT/ITES industry to safeguard your business.

Did you know that IT companies are prime targets for security breaches, intellectual property theft, and data fraud?

With cybercrime costing the global economy nearly $8 trillion annually, the IT sector is especially vulnerable. A PwC study revealed that 32% of data breaches in the tech industry are caused by insider threats — often by employees who were not thoroughly vetted. As IT companies increasingly depend on remote teams and contractors, the risk of unverified backgrounds and potentially harmful connections escalates.

In an industry where even the smallest vulnerability can trigger a major breach, devastating financial losses, reputational damage, and legal consequences — comprehensive background checks aren’t optional — they’re essential.
