There are various ethical standards in storing electronic information for various individuals because of the increased cyber insecurity cases. Issues such as confidentiality and privacy allow companies to keep information about an individual that happens that the information would be shared. Privacy is a significant concern because the company can have information about the individual with the data saved on technological devices at risk of confiscation. Storing the information must ensure that individual information must be confidential to the authorized personnel and used for the required purpose. The next issue is the security breaches because it threatens patient privacy when various confidential individual information is availed to others without the apparent consent of the owner. Sharing information should happen with the person’s consent to avoid breaching core ethical values. Another core value arising is implementing the system, which is vital in companies because implementation would lead to loss of confidence by individuals and their safety concerns because implementation procedures were not efficiently followed.
It also arises when workers do not know the transparent processes correctly and how to use them; thus, systems implementation is crucial for consideration. Another ethical issue for consideration is the data inaccuracies to prevent data losses through transfers. It is of more significant concern because data losses during transfers would raise various concerns about whether the initial data available was inaccurate or accurate in the initial stages. There are possible data transfers between departments or systems; thus, misspelling various figures would change the actual data figures, thus creating completely inaccurate data that could interfere with an individual’s essential information. Using correct individual data for medical or legal purposes is ethical because it achieves the rightfulness and liability of the person.
Appropriate use of data is an efficient, ethical issue on individuals’ electronic information because the company needs to store information for a reasonable time with the specific intended use. The use of data for unintended purposes for an organization’s self-interest is unethical since it would cause harm to innocent individuals.
