Explain the impact on an organisation of the following
• Legal issues:
• Data protection legislation (e.g. Data Protection Act 1998)
• Freedom of Information Act 2000
• Other relevant legislation (e.g. Computer Misuse Act 1990)
• Copyright considerations.
• Ethical issues:
• Examples of ethical issues (e.g. moral, whistle blowing, disability, use of information)
• Codes of practice (e.g. email, internet, internal policies, intellectual property, content)
• Other (e.g. reporting bad practice or breaches).
• Operational Issues:
• Security of information (e.g. backups)
• Health and safety (e.g. processes, procedures, regulations)
• Organisational policies
• Costs (e.g. for development, …show more content…
Campsmount however gets affected by the computer misuse act massively as they need to protect their computers enough so that no-one can hack into their system and therefore the system that stores all of our data through the NAS system. Campsmount has to keep by the computer misuse act and make sure that no user can hack into any other user’s account. This is by using password’s that are assigned to each user rather than having one password and you choosing what account to use. Private businesses need to make sure that they don’t hack into another company’s database otherwise they would be breaking the computer misuse act as they have hacked into another company’s computer …show more content…
An operational issue with health and safety would be to replace all of their computers every 5 or so years. This makes it so that they are always safe to use and makes sure that most of the computers don’t have any problems and can’t cause any problems to health if they overheat or if they suddenly break and cause a spark. Another health and safety feature that Campsmount uses is the USB Ban on computer that will disable the detection of USB drives in the USB ports. This protects the network and our work as it means that no one can put viruses onto the server and
