Answer to question 5
During the completion of this 4 Portfolio I learnt a lot, my professors helped me
whenever I got stuck, my friends also assisted me in the progress. I am really grateful to
them.
Answer to question 6
The importance of security measures has been highlighted in the Portfolio 1 and in the
Portfolio 2 reflective writing, I have clearly mentioned the use of antivirus software,
advanced encryption techniques and the use of firewalls. All these aforesaid security
technologies are responsible to protect and secure the enterprises' system and database from
the hands of hackers. This ICT security technology is capable to furnish the business
operations in a secured manner.
Answer to question 7
This assignment has taught me to work as a team. This assignment thus helps me to
work collaboratively. This can be useful for me in future. In the office premises, the project
manager assigns a particular project to a team. It is the duty of each of the team member to
accomplish the entire successfully. For that, the team members should communicate with
each other daily, again the team members should interact with seniors and the project
manager. This collaboration technology can help to get the best outcome.

The assignment and the four portfolios have taught us that security control measures
are important to ensure security and privacy of the users, the security control measures are
important for the enterprises so that they conduct business operations in a well-secured

manner. The other thing that this assignment has taught us is the ACS Code of Professional
Conduct, this teaches us to perform business operations ethically. I like both these two
aspects.
Answer to question 2
There are two improvements that this assignment lacks. The assignment can include a
case study based on leadership skills so that the students can learn and adopt the desired
leadership qualities to run a business. The assignment can include a separate portfolio based
on project methodologies like PRINCE2, PMBOK, this can helps the students to learn about
the project methodologies that can help them to carry out business operations in agile and
effective manner.
