Explain who the information owner is that has the responsibility for the information and has the discretion to dictate access to that information.
Based on the premises that Richman has 5000 employees throughout the main office and several branch offices, this document dictates research solutions and details the appropriate access controls including policies, standards, and procedures that define who users are, what they can do, which resources they can access, and which operations they can perform on a system. |
Ensuring the security of organizational and employee information is vital for any organization. Security misfortune can be damaging to the organization and the affected employees. In the case of Huffman Trucking information stored in the database includes names, social security numbers, and personal employee information used for the Benefits Election System.

1 The employees from the newly acquired company Skyhaven can have access to sensitive data of Code Galore because both servers have vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to gain unauthorised remote privileged access it can be solved by using biometric security or face recognition methods as access methods that would make the data highly secure but since the company has cash crunch they can opt for access rights and permissions to the required users.
The organization establishes terms and conditions, consistent with any external system access established with other organizations owning, operating, and/or maintaining external information systems, allowing authorized individuals.

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.
Confidentiality must be met in the storage, processing, and transmission of data in an organization. For example, we are going to look at a major recent data breach. On March 8, 2017, the US department of homeland security sent Equifax and notice to patch a vulnerability in versions of the Apache Struts software. On March 9, Equifax dispersed the information to applicable personnel. Although told to apply the patch, Equifax security team did not find
Supplier may need access to the company’s database - in the process of handling customer queries the supplier may need to access AllTell’s database to answer the question.

As companies conduct research they come into contact with confidential and personal information, which comes at a level of risk for both the business and
As the use of computers, databases, and technology in general, security has grown to be a powerful tool that has to be used. The threat of outside sources intruding and exploiting crucial information is a threat that is present on a daily basis. As a part of creating and implementing a security policy, a user must consider access control. Access Control is a security tool that is used to control who can use or gain access to the protected technology. Access control security includes two levels; logical and physical. Though database intrusions can happen at any moment, access control provides another security barrier that is needed.
All access rights will be granted on a least privilege principle, upon request by the “owner” of the data.
