Data inaccuracies, security breaches, system implementation, and privacy and confidentiality are all ethical concerns for organizations that retain electronic information about individuals. Consumers may withhold information if they are not confident in an organization’s system security. Organizations must instill security policies and procedures to ensure the privacy of their consumer’s information. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is data that can be used to verify an individual\u2019s identity. Examples of PII are social security numbers, driver\u2019s license numbers, names, phone numbers, and addresses. Organizations in charge of maintaining data pertaining to personal information must make sure that data is entered accurately. Inputting data inaccurately raises the risk of liability for an organization. Managing PII for consumers may generate concerns for organizations if proper security policies are not applied. Preserving confidentiality by allowing only authorized individuals to be able to access the information is pertinent to PII security. Organizations must implement privacy and confidentiality principles when dealing with PII, as this can increase the security of an individual’s information. A “security breach” is an incident that results in unauthorized access to computer data. During a security breach, personal information can be compromised. Due to the potential for security breaches, organizations must implement security measures to protect data integrity. Examples of security measures are firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs). System implementation raises the liability of an organization if proper system utilization is not conducted. Organizations must ensure that periodic maintenance and sufficient training are carried out while adopting systems to maintain their success. This will increase the confidence of employees using these systems to ensure proper data processing. The security of consumers\u2019 personal information is guaranteed by successful organizations. Conducting cybersecurity risk assessments assists organizations in managing and mitigating various sorts of cybersecurity threats. Administering cybersecurity principles is key to an organization’s success because it gives its consumers the comfort of providing their personal information to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
