This assignment analyzes an ethical dilemma faced by a company under pressure from a client. The company is tasked with developing an IT project, but faces conflicting demands from the CIO and CEO to expedite the project and potentially compromise security measures, specifically encryption. The assignment utilizes the "Doing Ethics Technique" to dissect the situation, identifying facts, non-ethical and ethical issues, and the stakeholders involved, including the client, company leadership, and developers. The core ethical issue revolves around violating the code of conduct, potentially misleading the client, and the implications of such actions. The solution involves emphasizing the importance of encryption, potentially increasing the development team, and engaging the client to build trust and adjust the project timeline. The best option is to engage the client, improving the working relationship and allowing for adjustments to meet the deadline without compromising ethical standards. The assignment references the ACS Code of Professional Conduct and other relevant sources to support its analysis and recommendations.
