Part 1:

Accuracy and Privacy 

Prior to beginning work on this discussion read Chapter 4 from the text, the Will Your Company’s Electronic Records Storage Withstand Legal Scrutiny? (Links to an external site.) article, and review any relevant information from this week’s lecture.

One of the more important duties of a CIO, both to their company and their company’s customers, is to maintain data accurately. As a CIO, despite your best intentions, accidents and mistakes can happen (e.g., data can get corrupted, human error, hardware failure, etc.). Reusing or circulating inaccurate data, especially personal information, can have many negative consequences for the company, the customers, and for the CIO. Additionally, hackers and security threats can compromise the integrity of your company’s data. For your initial post, you will take on the role of a CIO and address the following elements for your company that manages the personal information for its 100,000 customers:

• Explain the importance of maintaining the accuracy of customers’ personal information.
• Explain how maintaining accurate personal information affects the privacy of a company’s customers.
•  minimum 250 words.

Ethical Mission Statement

Ethics involves the assessment of an action based upon a set of values. As a CIO, what values should you or your company follow when deciding ethical questions? This question will help you or your company determine what is ethically acceptable or unacceptable. What one industry or company views as ethical another may deem unacceptable. Developing an Ethical Mission Statement can help your company navigate ethical issues.
