Risks to Information Confidentiality

How I would explain the difference between privacy, confidentiality, and privileged communication to a client.

Security risks are the currently existing risk that has changed the most in a negative way. Before, with internal analyst and coders, the risk of outsiders getting any proprietary knowledge was almost negligible. With outside consultants, this risk increases. Another issue in the subject of security is that now we have to open up our Intranet to the Consulting, Inc systems to allow better communication between project members and Consultants, Inc. personnel and for easier availability of data to Consultants, Inc personnel.

Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) is a framework for understanding, analyzing and measuring information risk (Violino, 2010). FAIR is a Value at Risk (VaR) model for cyber security and operational risk and is considered an international standard by The Open Group. The FAIR model quantifies information risk in financial terms using a scientific approach (RiskLens, 2015). Other risk models measure risk in qualitative terms based on the opinions of subject matter experts, reliance on practitioner intuition and experience, industry lore and best practices (Violino, 2010). The primary components of the FAIR framework are a taxonomy for information risk, standardized terms and definitions for information risk terms, data collection criteria, scales for measuring risk factors, a computational engine for calculating risk, and a simulation model to measure risk scenarios (Jones, 2005). The framework is used to develop threat-modelled information risk processes based on past experiences, up‐to‐date intelligence feeds, recognition of trends, and a valuation of the organizational assets (Optimal Risk, 2015).

The nature of the banker-customer relationship is one of agency. Amongst the duties that stem from this relationship, the bank’s duty of confidentiality is clearly an issue of great importance. The focus of this essay is on the scope and limitations of the bank’s duty, both to its customers as to the public. In order to analyse this it is necessary to firstly consider the idea of duty of confidentiality, Secondly, it is necessary to study the Court of Appeal’s judgement in the case of Tournier. Thirdly, this essay will take the Jack Committee report into consideration. Lastly, this paper will briefly mention the Banking Code, it will also discuss whether the principle in Tournier may be outdated and if so, whether it is in need of a new crystallised self, clearly stating the limits and boundaries of the bank’s duties both to the customer and to the public itself in the form of a statute. To conclude this essay will consider the future of the duty of confidentiality.

After careful review of the current Service Level Agreement(SLA) “A Service Level Agreement for Provvision of Specified IT Services Between Finman Account Management, LLC, Datanal, Inc., and Minertek, Inc.” we have determined that standard Information Technology security measures have not been addressed fully. Following are the recommended changes highlighted in the specific sections that need to be addressed. These changes are being recommended to protect Finman’s data and intellectual property. Established standards such as Best

Risk assessment and threat assessment should go hand-in-hand.The outcome of the risk assessment and threat assessment should provide recommendations that maximize the protection of confidentiality, integrity and availability while still providing functionality and usability. The purpose of a risk assessment is to ensure sensitive data and valuable assets are protected. An organization should take a hard look at who has access to sensitive data and if those accesses are required. The security audit should monitor the companies systems and users to detect illicit activity.The security audit should

The ethical requirements protect confidential information and only disclose such information as mandated by law or where committed by law for a valid purpose (APA, 2005). In this particular case, the social worker chose not to break confidentiality without her clients consent because there was not a valid purpose in doing so according to her code of ethics in her profession. Had she complied with the court order, she would have gone against her professions ethical code and could have faced punishment and possible loss of licensing. The justice system could not force the social worker to testify because there was no imminent danger involved.

Respect for the student decision to deny disclosure of private information. Any information provided by the students or parents should not be shared outside of the school setting unless mandated by law as well as being careful to not seek information from the parent or student that is not pertinent to the school setting.

Maintaining confidentiality is an essential part of my current role, I regularly record sensitive data regarding people’s income. This information will be used to establish the eligibility of certain benefits and assist in the decision on what action to take. I ensure details remain confidential, maintain the utmost discretion, and adhere to best practice and data protection regulations whilst ensuring anonymity to prevent any potential bias. To maintain the accuracy, confidentiality and security of employee records, files, and information, I control access to the files and make sure files are viewed only by approved employees. I ensure that all employee records and files are kept in locked drawers when not in use, all computers used to access

Everyone is entitled to confidentiality unless they give permission for someone else to see their information or they can no longer make decisions on their own (for example, if they are confused or comatose). A federal law, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act applies to most health care physicians and its guideline, known as the Privacy Rule. The Privacy Rule sets specific rules regarding privacy, access, and disclosure of information. For example, HIPAA specifies the following:

Breaches in confidentiality can have a harmful impact on information causing serious implications in potential patient outcomes. It is the duty of a cancer registry professional to keep patients information private and used for only the means it is intended. Patients have the right to privacy and their medical record should not be shared without the consent of the patient. The question formed for research involves the role of a Health Information Management (HIM) practitioner in regards to confidentiality within the code of ethics of cancer registries. Protected Health Information (PHI) is personal information in a patient’s chart that is private and not to be shared without consent from that patient. “Under HIPAA, Protected Health Information

Operational Security (OPSEC) is a systematic and proven process by which Amazon Web Services (AWS) can effectively deny potential adversaries the ability to gain valuable information about our capabilities and operational procedures. Consequently, OPSEC’s primary mission is to identify, control, and protect information, which will ensure AWS is a safe and intellectually protected environment. The principles of OPSEC are easy to remember, and include:

1: Classify each of the following as a violation of confidentiality, of integrity, of availability, or of some combination thereof.

Therefore, IT managers need effective management systems and processes to help them deal with the issues and challenges inherent in their responsibilities. Feeny and Willcocks (1998) suggested that core IS competencies are needed to assist the development of IT, measurable in terms of IT activities supported, and resulting business performance. Figure 1 shows the 9 core IS competencies. The research carried out indicated that in order to have a successful IT function there are four major tasks which need to be accomplished. These include: co-ordination and leadership; ensuring technical capability; managing the external supply; and meeting the business’s requirements.
