A Business Continuity Plan is a Plan to keep a business up and running in case a disaster or disruption was to occur to a business. A Business continuity plan contains procedures and policies that detail the proper steps to get a business back operationally. The ultimate outcome is minimal downtime. Attacks on businesses nationally and globally by Cyberterrorist has adopted some of the measures used in forensic investigation. The steps used by digital forensics are being adopted into a company Business continuity plan.

Privacy has remained a concern in the world but there have been numerous cases regarding privacy in the workforce. Privacy among the work environment brings ethical dilemma of whether companies have the rights to monitor their employees email, computer and internet usage. When we think about workforce privacy, one worries about the email and internet information that is gathered from being monitored being used for good or bad with current issues regarding known companies’ employees and customer’s personal information being hacked.

In this paper the primary motive is to provide the ethical issues related to data security. This paper provides the ethical issues facing by the individuals even the security of the applications is so high.

However this need for confidentiality runs counter to another ethical imperative stressed by the BPS

The team needs to isolate infected workstations and servers as soon as possible, apply necessary patches to all systems, turn of appropriate network devices, and disable network services (Bryce, 2014). Control of financial information during incident response and investigation is crucial. Giving sensitive information to wrong individuals can cause undesirable effects. All release of information have to go through approval process by BMF Information Security Officer (ISO). Any suspicious information requests should be reported to the BMF

In other words, having a Business Continuity Plan ensures that the company is prepared to continue business procedures after an unforeseen event. This would mean that our employees, building, contracts, and infrastructure would be able to continue to operate in the event of any type of disruption.

After an emergency is confirmed, the core components of the operational environment affected should be replicated at another field site to ensure continuity of operations. The other field site being used should have the same production environment as the site that was affected by the emergency. This site must be made readily available and restore operations quickly once the organization confirms an emergency at any of its fields sites.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity planning are the processes that help organizations to prepare for the disruptive events that may occur. Disaster recovery events in the past were designed to provide backup options for centralized data centers. Today the disaster recovery plans are focused on integrated business continuity.

Risks to information confidentiality also refer to information security. As the whole developers’ team has constant and easy access to the information of the entire project, providing a total security become difficulty. Oleg I. (2005) illustrates an example: A developer sends some core files with the source code to his own mailbox on the Yahoo server in order to work at home. This kind of security breach is likely to ruin the contract.

In the last decade there has been an almost exponential increase in the number, complexity and sophistication of malicious software. The rate of occurrence of cyber-attacks, the lighting fast speed of dissemination, and the economic impact requires same level of attention and response as a pandemic health crisis.

Information System Ethics are rules, moral principles and regulations that determine conduct and protocols for creating, disseminating, organizing and using information data to guarantee integrity, security and reliability of that information data (Bourgeois, 2014., para. 3).

Every day we are prone to threats against our lives that may harm us in many ways, in the real world and cyber world. In the cyber realm, we have a big issue with something called malware; malware is malicious software that comes in many forms. It may attack in many ways at any time or place; that is why there is a lot of research going into figuring out how malware works.

The phenomenon of internet is henceforth taking part of our everyday life. Several of our activities have been altered due to this technology of communication. Internet is both a worldwide mechanism of distribution of information and a means of collaboration and interaction between persons and their computer, regardless of the geographic location. Concretizing the famous worldwide network of communications conceptualised by J.C.R. Licklider[1], internet was so on the rise that we cannot do without it anymore. This year, we count more than 3.14 billions of internet users[2]. Nonetheless, such a development of networks is not adjustment problems-free and it greatly needs protective measures of users’ data. Even though a majority of websites develop policies of respect for privacy and security of personal information, it remains numerous decencies. Otherwise, it is important to note the difference between the internet and the web; whereas the internet is a “massive network of networks” according to webopedia[3], the web, or World wide web, is a “way of accessing information” over the means of the internet. However, they are both concerned by privacy and ethical issues. Thus, this report will deal with both personal and ethical issues of websites and its similes with other innovations such as printing press and telephone but also the similes of feasible solutions.
