Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf possesses or franchises stores not only in California, Arizona, and some American locations, but also in Singapore, Malaysia and other 23 international countries. Meanwhile, this franchisee mode is becoming a strategy of the future (“About us,” 2015). On the other hand, nowadays, computers are becoming an inseparable part of our lives. People are using computers searching information, entertaining and purchasing anything. Consequently, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf cannot expand the market without the electronic technology. However, when a company is utilizing computers, risks of the data security is an unavoidable issue.
Data or information is the kernel of the modern company. Its availability, integrity and confidentiality are basic to the long-term survival of any 21st-century company. Each company need a complete and scientific method to protect its data, otherwise, the company would be weak in front of risks. These risks are not limited to internet companies. In fact, any company that have secret information have to counter with the risks of data security. In a word, both public and private data could be affected by risks. In UK, almost every company run some external guidance or
determined that the three primary risks the company faces in protecting the data are as follows:
Confidentiality is the protection of information from unauthorized access. This is the assurance that information provided has not been made known to unauthorized persons, processes or devices. The application of this security service suggests information labeling and need-to-know imperatives are core aspects of the system security policy. Information, in today’s world, has value and everyone has information they wish to keep secret. Information such as credit card details, trade secrets, personal information, government documents, and many more. It was stated (Securitas Operandi™, 2008) that, we are bound to keep many secrets – corporate, staff, and personal secrets. We must keep this confidential information under wraps and earn the trust of employers, colleagues, and regulators every day. Mechanisms to enforce this include cryptography, which is, encrypting and decrypting data, access controls such as
data and risks will help a company to design strong policies, procedures and standards that will help to keep data secure.
In today’s IT world every organization has a responsibility to protect the information and sensitive data they have. Protecting data is not only responsibility of security and IT staff but every individual is involved in protecting the information. The risks to information security are not digital only, but it involves technology, people and process that an organization may have. These threats may represent the problems that are associated to complex and expensive solution, but doing nothing about these risks is not the solution.
Data breaches like these have serious implications for the business operations and could even lead to the collapse of the whole system, where the law is applicable the Company’s systems are put under supervision to make sure they meet the newest regulation for financial data protection and regular auditing to make sure the system is stable and secure.
“The practice of keeping data protected from corruption and unauthorized access” is known as data security (SpamLaw, 2011). The focal point of data security is the protection of
Research Objective: The main theme of this research paper is to protect sensitive information that any organization or business possess. With community’s increasing reliance on information systems and technology there is scope for security breaches, more likely to happen. Not only monetary loss it can create damage to information assets that has sensitive data. To secure these assets from any internal or external damage organizations has to follow proposed rules and guidelines. Also security responsibilities
In this paper we will look at defining the problem of data security and public administration. The reader will see the evidence gathered to get a better understanding of the problem of not securing data when sending it. The reader will learn different alternatives to how they can ensure the data is secure.
All workers of this organization oversee ensuring that data is secured appropriately. Senior administration oversees issuing and embracing this Security Policy. They perceive the delicate idea of the data that the association stores and forms, and the genuine potential mischief that could be caused by security occurrences influencing this data. They will along these lines give the most astounding need to data security. This will imply that security matters will be considered as a high need in settling on any organization choices. This will help Campbell Computer Consulting and Technology Company to assign adequate human specialized and budgetary assets to data security administration and to make a proper move considering all infringement of Security
As technology grows and information has become a critical asset companies currently are devoted their resource and money to protect their data as important as their finance and human resource assets.
While all of these technologies have enabled exciting changes and opportunities for businesses, they have also created a unique set of challenges for business managers. Chief among all concerns about technology is the issue of information security. It seems to be almost a weekly occurrence to see a news article about yet another breach of security and loss of sensitive data. Many people will remember high profile data breaches from companies such as T.J Maxx, Boston Market, Sports Authority, and OfficeMax. In the case of T.J. Maxx, a data breach resulted in the loss of more than 45 million credit and debit card numbers. In many of these incidents, the root cause is a lack of adequate security practices within the company. The same technologies that enable managers can also be used against them. Because of this, businesses must take appropriate steps to ensure their data remains secure and their communications remain
Phishing can also be accomplished by sending e-mails to unsuspecting users. These e-mails have malware installed and upon opening them, steals information. Some The end user does not have the infrastructure to ensure data flows fluently and privately among billions of other typical users trying to do the same. The management of data has been left to companies that provide such services with a specialization in controlling super computers that manage the grid of Internet connection in a relative area. These companies have data storage systems and satellites that enable billions of users to interconnect. This paper seeks to delve into the ethical issues management of data brings. Who has the right to access this data? To whom does this information belong? Does the business of managing data give the responsibility to monitor its application? When technology started influencing business enterprises, the positive outcome was felt instantly (George, 2007). Business became easier and efficient. When a company is installing a Human Resource or payroll system, the service providers of this system would need access to all the records of the company to facilitate its assimilation. This data may include personal information of clients and employees. Do these
Data, data is essential in todays business environment. The amount of information that businesses collect is growing larger and larger everyday. This information can be simple such as a customers name, address, telephone number, gender, or credit card number. The data can also be more complicated and require more insight such as finding out what a customers shopping habits are or finding out how to cater your advertisements based on your clients. With the amount of data every growing we are faced with some issues. Mainly how does a company process all of this information and keep it safe at the same time. This data that is collected is stored and is never truly deleted or gone. Big question is are we equipped to handle all of this information on our own? Well we can but we need to use Information systems to compile it all, process it, and make sure it is safe. Management information systems are made up of computing and communications hardware, operating system software, applications software that support business operations, and staff to analyze and create systems that help to achieve business goals and objectives. Management information systems support a broad array of business operations and enable interaction with an organization 's suppliers, customers and service providers. Every company for the most part creates their own software that is specific to their goals and what they hope to achieve. Software such as ERP (enterprise resource planning) is used to support large

a significant amount of data security breaches are due to either employee oversight or poor business process. This presents a challenge for businesses as the solution to these problems will be far greater than simply deploying a secure content management system. Business processes will need to be examined, and probably re-engineered; personnel will need to be retrained, and a cultural change may be required within the organization. These alone are significant challenges for a business. A recent example of what is probably unintentional featured an Australian employment agency’s web site publishing “Confidential data including names, email addresses and passwords of clients” from its database on the public web site.
