Discussion: Privacy and Security Considerations for Information Governance

Word count: 300+ words

According to the authors, privacy and security go hand in hand; and hence, privacy cannot be protected without implementing proper security controls and technologies. Today, organizations must make not only reasonable efforts to offer protection of privacy of data, but also must go much further as privacy breaches are damaging to its customers, reputation, and potentially could put the company out of business.  As we continue learning from our various professional areas of practice, its no doubt that breaches have become an increasing concern to many businesses and their future operations.   

For this discussion, find an example of a security breach that compromised data records at a company in the same industry as you will be using in your final paper. Summarize the breach, discuss the data that was lost and identify security controls that you would recommend being in place (be certain to remember to cite sources) that could have prevented this breach from occurring.

Part 1:

Sunstein (2014) suggested that many people making small contributions can complete significant projects. There are several stories of an idea taken on by a small group of people and transformed into a very significant development (Bill Gates and Microsoft come to mind). Describe such an action and how this action affected technology and the world in a positive manner. Were there any downsides to the results?

Part 2:

Contributing to a project is an important part of working in a team environment.  Consider a scenario where you’re interviewing for a position and are asked to discuss your previous contributions to a team in an ethical context. How can you best convey your skills in working with a team while maintaining your ethical boundaries?  Research appropriate interview styles and identify what interview style will work to convey your abilities in this area.
