Four ethical issues that arise when storing electronic information about individuals are privacy and confidentiality, security breaches, system implementation, and data inaccuracies.\u00a0 Privacy and confidentiality can be used interchangeably.\u00a0 However, privacy means the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people.\u00a0 Confidentiality means the state of keeping or being kept secret or private.\u00a0 The importance of confidentiality\u00a0is that it helps to build and develop trust.\u00a0 Privacy eliminates judgement and gives control when making decisions.\u00a0 Electronic information must be kept confidential to prevent theft and compromise of systems.\u00a0 Lack of privacy and confidential could damage the reputation of an organization and lead to legal consequences. Another ethical issue is security breaches.\u00a0 A data breach exposes sensitive or protected information to an unauthorized person.\u00a0 The files in a data breach are shared without permission.\u00a0 System administrators should pay attention to detail and use security protections in order to avoid a massive data breach.\u00a0 It\u2019s a known fact that hackers have many ways to get through the internet or online services that we use. \u00a0 A third ethical issue is system implementation.\u00a0 System implementation refers to how the system is designed and works. \u00a0In addition, implementation is the carrying out a plan or method for doing something.\u00a0 This is important because if successful, it improves an organization ability to improve and provide a service.\u00a0 If implementation is not successful it may be difficult to reach goals.\u00a0 Lastly, data inaccuracies are an ethical issue.\u00a0 Data inaccuracy occurs when information has not been entered correctly or maintained.\u00a0 A company needs to be able to maintain reliable information. This is important to build and maintain trust with a company. If information is incorrect it can interfere with daily processes and operations.\u00a0 Overall, avoiding any of these ethical issues will prevent any harm to individuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
