This essay discusses ethical issues within a company, focusing on an incident where files were sent unencrypted due to management pressure, violating the Australian Computer Society Code of Professional Conduct. It highlights the importance of data encryption for security and integrity, referencing the ACS code's emphasis on public interest, quality of life enhancement, honesty, competence, and professional development. The analysis reveals how the organisation's decision to prioritise speed over security compromises stakeholder interests, potentially leading to data theft, reputational damage, and financial losses. The essay concludes by recommending adherence to ethical practices and the ACS code, even at the expense of potential business opportunities, to maintain integrity and ensure secure data transmission.
