Key Issues on the new General Data Protection RegulationOlivier Vandeputte
The General Data Protection Regulation is one of the most wide ranging pieces of legislation passed by the EU in recent years. The GDPR comes into effect on 25 May 2018. The new framework is ambitious, complex and strict. It presents any organization that has so far failed to begin preparations with a steep challenge to become GDPR compliant in time.
We have summarized the key issues in our GDPR brochure.

Privacy through Anonymisation in Large-scale Socio-technical Systems: The BIS...Andrea Omicini
Large-scale socio-technical systems (STS) inextricably inter-connect individual – e.g., the right to privacy –, social – e.g., the effectiveness of organisational processes –, and technology issues —e.g., the software engineering process. As a result, the design of the complex software infrastructure involves also non-technological aspects such as the legal ones—so that, e.g., law-abidingness can be ensured since the early stages of the software engineering process. By focussing on contact centres (CC) as relevant examples of knowledge-intensive STS, we elaborate on the articulate aspects of anonymisation: there, individual and organisational needs clash, so that only an accurate balancing between legal and technical aspects could possibly ensure the system efficiency while preserving the individual right to privacy. We discuss first the overall legal framework, then the general theme of anonymisation in CC. Finally we overview the technical process developed in the context of the BISON project.

1. What types of ethical issues and information security issues are common in organizations?
Ethical issues that companies are faced with is ensuring the proper use of the employee, user, and technological data that the company has in their possession. Some organizations have been known in the past to sell the data that the users provide them. This could be an ethical issue by selling the data that is trusted to the organization this falls under the ethical issue of confidentiality. Privacy is the issue of ensuring that the data is secured against attacks and hacker trying to obtain the data. Security issues include the organization developing policies and procedures that ensure the proper use and protection of the data the company has. To develop the policies and procedures a company can have their team look at the OWASP top ten on the OWASP website. (OWASP, 2017) This shows the top rated security issues that the company can employ to ensure the security of their data.
2. How can a company participating in e-business keep its information secure?
A company can ensure that they are ad-hearing the OWASP TOP ten along with making sure that the work stations and servers are up to date with all current patches and anti-virus software.
3. In regards to the organization or company you have chosen to analyze this semester, what types of ethics and information security concerns are there in your organization? What recommendations would you make to the company to better secure their information?
When it comes to recruiting service the data that we need to protect is extremely important we take care of a significant portion of the PII data. Ethical issues that come to though are how the government uses the data which could be used for personal gain or malicious purposes when it comes to the applicant. I think that giving the applicant the power to put their own information into a secure web site and then be allowed to transmit their own information for security clearance would allow the applicant and the air force to take the human element middle man out of the equation and can help mitigate the ethical issues that the organization is faced with. 1.

Need for having Security, Email & Internet Usage Policy in Companies - Legal ...Vijay Dalmia
All organizations must have a robust IT Security, Email & Internet Usage Policy, which should be strictly implemented to establish standard practices and rules for responsible, safe and productive use of the Electronic mail (e-mail) and the internet; and to ensure the protection of information/data of the Organisation and prevention of any misuse thereof.
It is a fact of life that most of the Organisations do not have any Data, IT Security, Email & Internet Usage Policy, or may be having inadequate policies, which fail to protect and safeguard the interest of the organizations and their management, leading to the risk of unwarranted criminal and civil consequences.
The effective implementation of policies for the protection of data, misuse of internet and emails, becomes difficult in the court of law in the absence of a well-defined policy, which is duly acknowledged by the employees of the organizations. The safeguard of data, e-mail system and network of an Organisation has come to play an extremely vital role in today's fast moving, but invariably technically fragile, business environment. The first step towards enhancing a company's security is the introduction of a precise yet legally enforceable security policy, informing employees/staff on the various aspects of their responsibilities, general use of company resources and explaining how sensitive information must be handled. The policy should also describe in detail the meaning of acceptable use, as well as clearly list the prohibited activities.
WHY SHOULD AN ORGANIZATION HAVE AN IT POLICY?
Because all organizations need to secure
Computer Network; and
Against Unauthorized System Access to prevent data theft, virus, and malware attacks.
Because every organization needs to prevent its employees from installing illegal software, directly through internet or CD’s, etc., which exposes an organization to copyright violations. This can be effected by controlling software Installation Rights.
Because every organization has to create system back up and maintain its IT infrastructure.
Because every organization must control unauthorized Third Party and Remote Access to its computers and IT network.
Because an organization may be under a LEGAL & CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION:
to protect the Sensitive Personal Data of its customers and employees, under the Information Technology Act, 2000; and
in case of violation of your organization’s legal obligation,
All persons who are directly responsible for the day to management of your organization including its directors and principal officers may be held legally liable for
Civil action, i.e., compensation under Section 43A, and
Criminal action, i.e., Punishment under Section 72A,
For failure to protect any sensitive personal data which its owns, controls or operates.
As Information Technology (Reasonable security practices and procedures and sensitive personal data or information) Rules, 2011
provide for having Mandatory Privacy Policy for protection
Read Ethics in IT. Information technology is the engine that make.docxleonorepour284
Read: "Ethics in IT." Information technology is the engine that makes business run smoothly. Organizations today have policies guiding the use of company equipment, customer records, and use of the Internet. An organization's integrity can be questioned when the Internet is used capriciously, or if customer records are not carefully guarded. Systems for protecting customer records from "hacking" are essential and policies for reporting hacking activities are required. Using the principles outlined in the article, discuss how an employee has the responsibility of reporting known breaches of cyber-security. Further, discuss the consequences to a major retailer when a breach is discovered.

What Bryan found on an executive's computer six years ago still weighs heavily on his mind. He is particularly troubled that the man he discovered using a company PC to view pornography of Asian women and of children was subsequently promoted and moved to China to run a manufacturing plant. Bryan's case is a good example of the ethical dilemmas that IT workers may encounter on the job. IT employees have privileged access to digital information, both personal and professional, throughout the company, and they have the technical prowess to manipulate that information. Ideally, corporate policy takes over where the law stops, governing workplace ethics to clear up gray areas and remove personal judgment from the equation as much as possible. But many corporate policies are ill defined, fail to keep up with new technologies and are poorly communicated to the IT department.

What is data protection and why it is important for businessSameerShaik43
Data protection, known as information privacy, is a process of securing data from the loss, corruption, or compromise. There are key pieces of information that need to be protected and stored by businesses. The data includes customer details, transaction details, data collection, loyalty schemes, and employee records.
This may feel like a long way off but the obligations on businesses are onerous and the time to prepare is now. The hefty fines that GDPR promises will come into force immediately so businesses are being given plenty of warning to put procedures in place to ensure they are compliant with the regulation. Read this essential guide to getting GDPR ready.

Employee Use Of Internet At Work: Policy Proposals
10
INTRODUCTION
This paper talks more about the policy proposals about the use of internet at work. It surveys the possible torts that employees who use the internet could commit. It looks at the possible crimes that could be perpetrated by employees who use the internet at work. These crimes will be indicated as to whether they are white collar or blue collar. The liability of the corporation versus the responsibility of the individual employee through the commission of torts or crimes using the internet at work will be analyzed. Further analysis of whether violations of the duty of care or duty of loyalty could exist through the use of social media sites at work will be given. It explores the employee privacy rights that exist regarding the use of internet at work. The employment laws that protect the employee or employer on the utilization of the web at work will be discussed.
The possible torts that can be committed by employees through the utilization of the web include obstruction of justice. This happens where the government is investigating as an aspect of the company’s operations and staff decides out of motives of loyalty or self-preservation to cover things up. They can cover things up through hiding or destroying documents. This can amount to obstruction of justice and can multiply the consequences to the company of the original misconduct. Many materials are held electronically, and any obstacle will likely use the company’s technology.
Another tort that can be committed by employees is copyright violations. This happens when employees create and distribute multiple copies of protected material more than fair use using employer’s technology. This can lead to suits by the owner of the copyrighted material. Sabotage is another tort that can be committed by employees. This is mostly done by a disgruntled employee or former employees with technical expertise to create disruption which could last for some time and cause economic losses. Sabotage can happen through stealing information or maliciously publicizing it or deleting or overwriting company files. Another way of sabotage by deletion could be saving deliberately of documents that intend to be destroyed under a document retention program whether maliciously or otherwise.
Fraud is another common tort that may be committed by employees. Through the use of technology, employees can penetrate company operations and commit offenses like embezzlement, defrauding the company and corruption of business records. Misconduct due to fraud can be prematurely recognizing revenue, overvaluing goodwill, managing earnings and other accounting malpractices, self-dealing by the management and giving and accepting kickbacks for orders.
A significant tort that may be committed by employees is the misappropriation of trade secrets. This is possible because they a ...

2. Task 1
1.1
There are many issues which relate to the use of information which affect an organization, there
are three main headings which are legal issues, ethical issues and operational issues. These
main headings cover all the key information and how it may affect an organization which may be
crucial to the way they deal with information and how it may need to adjust its way of operating
for legal issues, ethical issues and operational issues.
Legal issues
For many organizations legal issues are very important protect them and their clients, when it
comes down to their personal information and client information may be shared between the
company and its users. There are two relevant data protection Legislation which are Data
protection act of 1998 and the Freedom of information act 2000. These two acts are both
design in the form of purpose to help protect individuals and organizations by giving them
guidelines in which they must abide and if there were to fail to do so prosecution may be taken
as it can be a criminal offence to breach these acts.
Data protection act of 1998
For online companies such as Zayani to work and operate by abiding to data protection Act of
1998 it must be mindful of individuals information and data. It's important for companies like
Zayani to reported to the office of the information Commissioner that they are in possession of
such data which will also require them to pay a small annual fee to be allowed to keep this data
about individuals. For companies it's also important to consider these key points when it comes
to personal information
all information must be fairly and lawfully obtained.
information must be held for a specific and lawful purposes and not processed in any
manner incompatible with those purposes.
adequate, relevant and not excessive for those purposes.
all information must be kept up to date and accurate which must not be kept longer then
necessary.
Information must be processed in accordance with the rights of their person to whom the
data refers to.
Data must be kept securely to ensure the data is not lost or dispose of or misused.
Data must not be transferred from the European economic call area unless the destination
has an accurate level of data protection.
Freedom of information act 2000
For organizations such as zayani on freedom of information act of 2000 does not really apply to
them directly however they do contain information about individuals and will have to follow
guidelines when information is requested. For public request they must be written and will be
3. processed within 20 days of receipt this is a very formal letter in which information will be
requested. As long as an individuals comply with requesting guidelines the organization is
obliged to provide evidence.. Data is regulated by the data protection act of 1998 which will
restrict certain information being released about an individual's personal data.
Other legislation
computer misuse act 1990: is applicable to companies such as Zayani which have many
different people using the Internet at their offices which may be prone to computer hacking.
Hacking can take place in different ways in which somebody could illegal gain access to the
system and change people's information or corrupt data or steel information sold to other
companies that might find it useful. Another way of hacking would be for someone inside the
company and gain access which will not be allowed to view such as credit card numbers or
simply attempted cause damages. It is illegal to gain information for purposes of theft or
malicious intentions. It is a criminal offences and can lead to prosecution in a court of law.
1.2
When running a company such as Zayani are a lot of ethical issues and not only for an individual
inside the company but for a company as a whole. Organizations and institutes can help develop
their own policies with their employees for users which they must comply by and in some
circumstances if they fail to comply with the policies they may be fired or in some cases criminal
prosecution which may be one of the outcomes of an bad ethical behavior.
Ethical behavior requires a code of practice or organization policies these policies are frequently
used in side companies to protect itself and its interests. Organization policies tend to be set by
the organization itself and that code of practice will be usually set by external bodies outside the
organization for example, British computer Society. All these policies are served to protect the
company organizations own interests as if somebody was to breach their policies and do damage
to their users and others they will not personally be prosecuted as a whole organization but the
individual who was responsible will be prosecuted on their own and not be related to the
organization in a court of law.
Use of email and the internet
In today's world of technology the most abused things on Earth is the Internet and emails, most
people did in their own personal time. Most likely they will distributed data which may be of
adult content being over social media or via emails and some people will think it is
and appropriate use of these services so it would not be surprising they would also inappropriate
images, videos and data as a whole at work using the company's computers and internet. T will
be what a company cannot have as it is a liability which could course a company's reputation to
be damage and weaken when it comes to client and investors trust whit their money and
business. For a company like Zayani this will not be a risk that they would want to take as it may
bring them in a legal battle if information was of a extreme content such as pornographic images
4. of children which are distributed inside the company's emails and internet, which will weaken
their image as a good business to work with.
Policies are put in place to protect companies such as Zayani from material in emails and the
Internet. these policies will be put in place protect the company as a whole and even if people
would surf the Internet and email inappropriate things the company will not be held responsible
and in some certain cases the employee who was distributing the information will be fired or in
some extreme cases prosecuted for criminal acts such as distributing inappropriate content.
Whistle blowing
In Zayani Co. is very important for complete freedom of speech and to report anything that may
be inappropriate or legal that is happening at a workplace for examples employees have the
responsibility to report colleagues for doing any inappropriate behavior that they have witnessed
in relation to the organization system. For companies like Zayani it will be very destructive if an
employee to be sealing information such as credit card numbers, addresses or simple details that
they can sell on to companies or individuals that might be using that information
for illegal purposes such detail that might allow fraudulent documents such as credit card or fake
IDs. Companies must work with employees to know that they will act on full discretion if
someone was reports colleagues for malpractice or misuse such as hacking or purposely
destroying data or distributing inappropriate images or information over the company Internet or
emailing system. Ethnically it is important for somebody to do this as personally it will not be
right for somebody to distribute inappropriate information over the company's computers and
Internet. The company must also make sure that if a employee does not approach a higher chain
of command to report these offences or others they will be accounted for these crimes too and
will face being prosecuted as a accomplice to the crime.
Information ownership
Information ownership is very important as a company or organization as when information
can often be copied so it is there it is your moral duty to take all the responsibilities that come for
looking after it. This means they should trade mark or patent work which could be copied even if
it is the online website code as all of it may be miss used or copied without their permission. As
a company such as Zayani is very important to remember that they tell their user or their
potential client about the product and all that information must be solely there's or from the
product owner which gives the product owner total ownership however it is up to them to make
sure that the data is accurate and current information that is available about. They must also
ensure that all the information has come from a reliable resource and is clearly layout laid out.
Ownership of information stored about individuals and many organizations which will require
employees to sign a nondisclosure agreement which means that they are not allowed to talk
about information that is not theirs or about their client, such as personal flares about clients for
the information such as credit card details and address. This might lead to criminal prosecution if
it the information is wrong we mentioned or sold.
5. 1.3

Task 2
6. Management commitment to information security
The Board of Directors (“the Board”) is ultimately accountable for corporate governance as a
whole. The management and control of information security risks is an integral part of corporate
governance. In practice, however, the Board explicitly delegates executive responsibilities for
most governance matters to the Executive Directors, led by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
The Executive Directors give overall strategic direction by approving and mandating the
information security principles and axioms but delegate operational responsibilities for physical
and information security to the Security Committee (SC) chaired by the Chief Security Officer
(CSO).

7. The Executive Directors depend heavily on the SC to coordinate activities throughout Zayani's
Co., ensuring that suitable policies are in place to support Zayani’s security principles and
axioms. The Executive Directors also rely on feedback from the SC, CSO, ISM, auditors, Risk
Management, Compliance, Legal and other functions to ensure that the principles, axioms and
policies are being complied-with in practice.
The Executive Directors demonstrate their commitment to information security by:
A statement of support from the CEO;
Reviewing and re-approving the principles and axioms every year;
Approving the IT budget including a specific element set aside for information security;
Receiving and acting appropriately on management reports concerning information security
performance metrics, security incidents, investment requests etc.
Information security co-ordination
Information security activities should be co-ordinated throughout Zayani to ensure consistent
application of the security principles, axioms and policy statements.
The Executive Directors have charged the SC with the task of securing Zayani'’s assets. The SC
is responsible for:
Management oversight and direction for both physical and logical aspects of security,
including information security;
Coordinating and directing Zayani’s entire security framework, including the information
security controls at all locations mediated through the Local Security Committees (see
below) ;
Commissioning or preparing information security policy statements, ensuring their
compliance with the principles and axioms approved by the Executive Directors, and
formally approving them for use throughout
Periodically reviewing the security policy statements to ensure the efficiency and
effectiveness of the information security controls infrastructure as a whole, recommending
improvements wherever necessary;
Identifying significant trends and changes to information security risks and, where
appropriate, proposing changes to the controls framework and/or policies for example by
sponsoring major strategic initiatives to enhance information security;
Reviewing serious security incidents and, where appropriate, recommending strategic
improvements to address any underlying root causes;
Periodically reporting on the status of the security controls infrastructure to the Executive
Directors, and liaising as necessary with the Risk Management and Audit Committees etc.,
using metrics and other information supplied by the CSO, Local Security Committees, the
ISM, Internal Audit and others.
8. The SC delegates some of its responsibilities (for example to the ISM, the Information Security
function and Local Security Committees) but remains accountable to the Executive Directors for
the overall effectiveness of information security throughout the Company
Business units or locations within the company have Local Security Committees (LSCs) which
report to the SC. LSCs are responsible for:
Providing the strategic direction, support and resources necessary to manage all types of local
security issues and thus ensure that company’s information assets are appropriately and
consistently protected;
Co-ordinating and sharing information with each other to ensure consistent execution of the
information security policy manual across all company locations;
Identifying specific Significant Information Assets, classifying them and nominating
suitable Information Asset Owners (IAOs) for them;
Gathering metrics and other information on the overall effectiveness of information security
controls in their remit, and reporting this to the SC.
Allocation of information security responsibilities
The Executive Directors have appointed a Chief Security Officer (CSO). The CSO is
responsible for:
Chairing the SC;
Taking the lead on information governance as a whole for example by issuing the policy
manual and by providing the overall strategic direction, support and review necessary to
ensure that information assets are identified and suitably protected throughout
Appointing and managing the ISM and Information Security Management team.
The ISM and Information Security Management are responsible for:
Defining technical and non-technical information security standards, procedures and
guidelines;
Supporting IAOs and managers in the definition and implementation of controls, processes
and supporting tools to comply with the policy manual and manage information security
risks;
Reviewing and monitoring compliance with the policy statements and contributing to
Internal Audit and Control Self Assessment (CSA) processes;
Collecting, analyzing and commenting on information security metrics and incidents;
Supporting IAOs in the investigation and remediation of information security incidents or
other policy violations;
Liaising as necessary with related internal functions such as IT Operations, Risk
Management, Compliance and Internal Audit, as well as the CSO, LSCs, SC and external
functions such as the Police when appropriate;
9. Organizing a security awareness campaign for personnel to enhance the security culture and
develop a broad understanding of the requirements of ISO/IEC 27002.
Managers throughout <ORGANIZATION> are responsible for:
Day-to-day implementation of the information security policy manual;
Ensuring that suitable technical, physical and procedural controls are in place in accordance
with the manual, and are properly applied and used by all workers. In particular, they should
take measures to ensure that workers:
Are informed of their obligations to fulfill relevant corporate policy statements by
means of appropriate awareness, training and education activities;
Comply with the policy statements and actively support the associated controls; and
Are monitored to assess their compliance with the policy statements and the correct
operation of the associated controls, and reminded of their obligations as
appropriate;
Providing the direction, resources, support, and review necessary to ensure that information
assets are appropriately protected within their area of responsibility;
Informing Information Security Management and/or IAOs of actual or suspected policy
violations (information security incidents) affecting their assets; and
Evaluating compliance with the policy axioms through the regular CSA process and
occasional Internal Audits.
Information Asset Owners (IAOs) are managers held accountable for the protection of
particular Significant Information Assets by their LSC or the SC. IAOs may delegate
information security tasks to managers or other individuals but remain accountable for proper
implementation of the tasks. IAOs are responsible for:
Appropriate classification and protection of the information assets;
Specifying and funding suitable protective controls;
Authorizing access to information assets in accordance with the classification and business
needs;
[For new application system developments] Undertaking or commissioning information
security risk assessments to ensure that the information security requirements are properly
defined and documented during the early stages of development;
Ensuring timely completion of regular system/data access reviews; and
Monitoring compliance with protection requirements affecting their assets.
All workers (i.e. employees on the payroll and others acting in a similar capacity, such as
contractors, consultants, student placements etc.) are responsible for complying with the
principles, axioms and policies in the information security policy manual where relevant to their
jobs.
10. They are responsible for maintaining the security of all information entrusted to them. Upon
hire, as a condition of employment, each worker undertakes to comply with information security
policies. Any worker failing to comply with the security policies could be subject to disciplinary
action, potentially including termination of employment or contract and/or prosecution.
Exemptions process: an IAO may propose exemptions to principles, axioms or policy
statements identified in the policy manual for an information asset under their remit. The ISM is
responsible for analyzing risks arising from the proposed exemptions and, in most cases,
specifying mitigating controls to minimize those risks. Proposed exemptions which the ISM
considers could significantly impact information security risks may be referred up through the
LSC, SC, CSO and/or the Executive Directors for approval, depending on the significance of the
perceived risk. A programme (action plan) is normally required to ensure full compliance with
the within a specified time frame, in other words exemptions are not indefinite. The IAO will be
held accountable for the mitigating controls and the action plan, and must personally assume any
additional risk relating to the policy exemption and the mitigating controls until the exemption is
resolved.
Current exemptions must be reviewed at least annually by the SC, LSCs, CSO and ISM. In an
annual status report to the Executive Directors, authorized exemptions must be listed, the reasons
why policy exemptions exist must be clarified and plans to resolve the non-compliance with
policy (typically by means of strategic investment to achieve compliance, or by modifying the
policy) must be explained.
