Answer to question 1
Our organization is a consultancy firm; it helps people to get jobs as well as the
employers to find their employees. Being the IT admin I made use of ICT technology to
create an e-record for the organization. The nature of the organization is such that there is a
requirement to handle numerous records of the clients and keeping these in a manual database
creates problems such as mishandling, loss of information and many more (van de Pas and
van Bussel 2015). Well organized records serve as the foundation of all organizations. Thus
transforming manual records to e-records is beneficial (Safa, Von Solms and Furnell 2016).
The records management with ICT will enable the users to get the information with a
button’s click. While making this change the law that was complied to was the Crimes Act
1900 (NSW) according to which a person is liable to be punished if he accesses data stored in
the computer systems without having the authority to do so.

as well as reviewing the processes. It is the responsibility of the executives as well as the
board of directors of the firm that consists of organizational structures, leadership and various
other different processes. IT governance ensures that the organization’s IT becomes
sustainable and keeps the potential to extend the strategies as well as the objectives of the
