Case Study about the Jennifer the Consultant

Question: Case study about the Jennifer the Consultant. Answer: The case study is about the security system which the Jennifer has to develop for the client. This case discussed the issues which may arise due to data integrity and how ethically Jennifer deals with the issues. Mr. White Methodology is to be applied by the Jennifer in resolving the ethical issues and the security issues which her client company will face with such a weak security system. Analyse the consequence Firstly Jennifer needs to understand the basic ethics while designing the database management of a company which requires data integrity and high security of data. The Privacy of information is important for every professional company else the data can be misused can harm the personnel and hamper the image of the company (ACS code of conduct and professional practice clause 1.2.1 Public interest).As Jennifer has been working on the same profile for last three years with many giant companies she completely understands the importance of intranet and security (Nganga, 2014). It is a protocol belonging to the organization which only employees can operate and the person authorized. (ACS codes of conduct and professional practice clause 1.2.2 The Enhancement of Quality of Life.). Analyse the Action The second step in Thomas White methodology is to analyse the action of the Report. She should understand and priorities her decision on the grounds of Ethics, dignity, honesty and respect the privacy of every employee working with the organization. As she discussed every development of database system with the higher authorities of the company she is being very Honest with her work (ACS code of conduct and professional practice clause 3 Honesty) (Monga, 2007). As mentioned that higher authorities feel that it is not important for the system to be highly secure. Jennifer being very professional and honest to her work will not want the secured data to be misused within or outside the company .In this situation, she needs to take the right choice of decision, just not in favour of high Authorities but considering every individual (Duska, 2000).. The benefit of Report: Jennifer needs to take the right decision for a long run of the company she should convince the management and make them understand how important it is to have a protected data management system. Just at the cost of expenses they should not take a risk with such sensitive information. This information may not be important at this point in time but in long run knowingly or unknowingly leaking of this confidential data can create a difference within the organization and can also hamper companys image(Spence, 2011).(ACS code of conduct and professional practice clause 1.2.6 Professionalism).She can also design a special system for the confidential data which can be password protected and operated by only a few authorized personnel in the company.(ACS code of conduct and professional practice clause 1.2.5 Professional Development). Summary I have read the case study and suggested few points to cope the problem considering the Ethical dilemma by Thomas White and from an understanding of ACS Code of conduct and professional clauses I have arrived at the suggestion. Jennifer knowing the importance of data management system and companies management requirement make and attempt and convince the management and develop the system which stores the confidential data. She should build a strong Database management system for the company, wherein employees won't try to access the data of other only the authorized person responsible for the same can make an access this will also build a healthy working environment within the organization for the long run.
