Slide 58 of 65
Notes:
More often than not during your fact finding exercises you may come across or be analyzing information which is sensitive in nature. It could be a file of an Aerospace company’s pricing structure for a contract they wish to bid on or even employee profile data, which may include salaries, performance history, medical history, and career plans.
The analyst must take great care to protect the data they have been entrusted with. Many people and organizations in this highly competitive atmosphere, are looking for an “edge” to get ahead. Being careless, by talking with friends about something you read in the data and risk being overheard, or leaving sensitive documents unsecured while your away inviting non-authorized people to read, could cause great harm to the organization or the individuals. If the data would fall in the wrong people’s hands, a competing Aerospace company could submit a lower bid for the contract, steal away expert engineers by offering higher salaries and better benefits, or make public a person’s medical history to question their character or competence. In some cases you would be responsible for the invasion of a person’s privacy and could be liable!
