“Fiji may be a smaller outsourcing destination, but we’re focused on doing things right from the start, Our priority has always been to build a trusted industry where data privacy is not just a compliance checkbox but a cultural value. That’s why many of our members adopt frameworks and proactively invest in cybersecurity and staff training.”
