Conclusion:
Thus the above report has discussed some innovative manners to enhance the privacy policy of
ABC. For instance in some cases the user could give the personal data as they wish to use the
special service or to participate in any activity. Moreover, the user could go for some personal
data that has not been needed but has been related directly to the activities of functions of ABC.
Task 2

from clients. The work procedure you create must ensure the integrity, confidentiality, security and
availability of client information as required by the organisation’s Privacy Policy.
Submit a copy of this new procedure to your manager.
The work procedure:
The work procedure Description
Integrity The data is not modified, added or deleted

The other methods This includes the life history, ranking and the
rapid assessment procedure.
Task 3
Implement the new work procedure that you created in Task 2 as a trial to collect personal
information from at least three clients.
Create and submit a report (minimum 300 words) to your manager outlining the results of your trial.
You should address any information integrity, confidentiality, system security and availability
issues identified in the work practices identified during your trial. You may also include any other
relevant information you feel is appropriate to complete this task.
The following study addresses the information integrity, availability issues, system securities and
confidentialities recognized in the working practices recognized in the trials.
As per as the integrity is concerned some of the data must include the checksums. The
cryptographic checksums could be also considered to verify the integrity. The redundancies or
backups should be available for restoring the data affected to the proper state. The safeguarding
of the data confidentiality could include the specialized training for the privacy of those
documents. These trainings could include the security risks threatening the information.
Moreover the aspects of the training can include the strong passwords or the best practices related
to password and data about the social-engineering methods. This is to prevent them from bending
the rules of data-handling with proper intentions and the disastrous results. Moreover the users
could take precautions for minimizing the number of spaces where the data could appear and the
amount of time actually transmitted for completing the needed transaction. Additional measures
could be considered for the case of highly sensitive documents. This might also include the
precautions like storing only in the disconnected storage devices, air applied computers for the
huge sensitive data in the format of hard copy only. For the availability a copy of backup could

Assessment No 2. Version: 3.0 – [21-June-2017] – Published Page 6 of 24

privacy in an ICT environment
be stored in the location that is isolated geographically. Moreover regarding the system security
the softwares like proxy servers and firewalls could protect against the unreachable data and the
downtime because of some malicious actions like network intrusions and DoS Attacks.
Besides all these, the data encryption is the general process to ensure the confidentiality. The
other options could be the security tokens, biometric verification and the soft tokens. Moreover,
the users could take preventions for minimizing the number of places where the data has been
appearing and the time it could be transmitted actually to finish the needed transaction.
Scenario
Sandra, your manager (Trainer) at Solutions One had the following to say about ethics, standards
and legislation:
Great work! Mr Fields was impressed with how you addressed all his concerns. Let’s see
what else we can do to help Solutions1 employees maintain ethical conduct.
Firstly, the team would like to know more about legislation and industry standards. Can
you identify all the legislation and industry standards that apply to our area of work, and
explain how each fits in with what we do?
This recent experience has highlighted the need for a grievance procedure so that staff
and clients can feel confident to raise confidential or sensitive matters with management.
Finally, we need to have a code of conduct in place within the organisation — this will be a useful
tool to get everyone up to speed on the professional standards we must all adhere to
Sandra has allocated the following tasks to you:
Task 4
Locate a relevant industry code of ethics and deliver a short 5 minutes’ presentation to the team
(your class) that discusses one or more of the practices listed in the code. Your presentation must
provide two examples of situations in which the ethical practice would apply.
The presentation slides are provided below:

Like most other things the strategy should begin with the people. These are described below.
Firstly, the stakeholders are needed to be identified. ABC could assume that the project goal
in mind and this is the first step for better collaboration in the process of approval.
Secondly, it must be identifies what has been at stake. All the stakeholders are included in the
project for various reasons. The roles are to be used and the advantages are been encouraged.
For instance as the user if working with the graphic designer, he must be included. This is
because the designer could be impacted by the decisions created in the conversations.
Thirdly, the languages of the stakeholders are needed to be identified. Making communication
with the stakeholders has been linked to their motivations. For instance, for the decision-
makers, all the projects are the investment as they have been responsible typically to allocate
the project resources.
Next, ABC has been setting specific expectations. As the stakeholders are known, what they
have been demanding and in what way they must be communicated, the user has been
articulating their expectations better for their inclusion. For instance, the SME or Subject
Matter Experts have known rightly when they require delivering the knowledge for the
project and also in what form and how the feedback must be delivered. The feedback is able
to double the time slot allotted for the project. Hence they have been as specific they could on
the way in which the feedback has been incorporated and evaluated.
Lastly the value of their input could be shown. One of the causes that the stakeholders could
be disappointed if they feel neglected. Thus helping the stakeholders to fetch how the input
was included or rejected has been vital. This has been making them the active part of the
