Assignment 2: Personally Identifiable Information

Never misuse or use email for personal use. Never share your password with anyone. Sharing business records and or information with anyone outside the office can become a legal matter. All passwords should be changed on a quarterly basis. And the system will prompt you to do so. Always be accountable for your actions, follow the office guidelines when it comes to regular password changes and keep your supervisor\manager in the loop. When everyone has the same understanding, they know what to expect!

How I would explain the difference between privacy, confidentiality, and privileged communication to a client.

Sgt. Highspeed is a thirty-two year-old (09/11/1983) single, homosexual OEF/OIF Hispanic, male veteran. Sgt. Highspeed is bilingual in both Spanish and English with Spanish being his native tongue. He currently lives alone in a one bedroom apartment located in Patriotville, California and has been a resident for the last 25 years after his parents immigrated from Coicoyan de las Flores, Oaxaca, Mexico. Sgt. Highspeed presented to the Veterans Hospital Emergency Department reporting that he is experiencing depression and difficulties sleeping due to nightmares. He identified feelings of depression to “feeling moody”, not wanting to get out of bed, secluding himself from friends; all of which have

And there's yet another permutation here, whether or not you have a reasonable expectation in the privacy of data that other people are storing about you - if someone has your SSN or medical information in their database, do you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in that information remaining private? Medical is an easy answer, HIPAA basically defines your expectations for you. SSNs, DOBs, other PII? Not quite as clear cut, at least here in the

Personal Information means information that is recorded in different form and whether true or false about a person whose identity is apparent or can be reasonably be determined from

The misuse or failure to secure Personally Identifiable Information can lead to the information being leaked, stolen, and/or misplaced. When Personally Identifiable Information is leaked it is somewhere where anyone can access the information, an example of this would be Personally Identifiable Information that was published in public record such as a court appearance or traffic ticket. When Personally Identifiable Information is misplaced it is susceptible to being stolen or misused. The misplacement of Personally Identifiable Information is of particular concern in the Information Technology industry where if Personally Identifiable Information is misplaced in, say a database, it could be accessed by people that are not are not supposed to be able to see the data or by people that do not have a “need to know” or authorized to see the data. Theft of Personally Identifiable Information is of particular concern because the people, thieves, are trying to access the Personally Identifiable Information for criminal intentions such as identity theft which has been steadily on the rise since the begging of the “computer age”. Identity theft can lead to lost time and money related to securing bank accounts and credit cards and the longer the identity theft goes unnoticed the consequences become more prolific. The identity thieves can assume ones entire identity and open up new

Each company may have different kind of sensitive information, for example for a bank both credit card numbers and marketing strategy may be considered as a compromising data; therefore there must be a clear policy governing who has access to different type of sensitive information, a bank officer serving a customer may have access to credit card numbers while marketing specialist reviewing promotion strategy of the bank may be able to access marketing data.

Setting up a new computer can be a very intimidating task. There are several steps to ensure that your computer has the necessary setup for the best protection. Some of which include, the operating system settings that are built-into the computer, properly setup of firewall, security settings on the web browser configured correctly, and strong anti-virus software installed to protect the computer. After the computer is setup with a reasonable standard of security, a strong policy for passwords should be implemented to ensure account security along with ensuring the sites you utilize are in fact secure and who they say they are.

Some of the things you can do to minimize the chances of your identity being stolen would be to kep your important, personal papers in a an organized secure place at all times. Shredding personal papers and documents, and making sure that any personal information or account numbers are blacked out if they’re thrown in the trash. Always make sure to keep only any personal information

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally identifiable information ' (PII) is being used online.

I have decided to write a research paper on the importance of protecting personally identifiable information (PII) in Information Technology. PII is a critical, but often overlooked skill requirement for IT professionals. The subject of PII data is of vital importance to me since I work with PII data frequently and must be prepared to handle it correctly and ethically, less risk the violation of privacy law. In addition to satisfying the necessary requirements for a research paper, the intention of this paper are to provide:

Information gathering, through networking, social media, and both on and offline storage have made it easier to collect information about an individual than ever before, with many concerns having arisen over the years about privacy and the ability to protect that privacy. As debates over personally identifiable information continue, one cornerstone remains a constant, ethics. Ethics are defined as “the standard by which human actions can be judged right and wrong (Online, 2012)”, but even that can be debated when discussed within the realm of information technology. Have you ever been to an internet shopping site and “trusted” the secure connection? Essentially, you are entrusting an inanimate system developed by an individual or group

Personal data is quickly becoming a commodity in today's high technology world. This information is used by banks, investment and brokerage companies, credit card merchants, government agencies (local, state and federal), and consumer product-based companies. Most people probably don't realize the amount of information that's shared between companies, or how often it's done. Many companies sell and share customer data to help sell products and find out what new products they should produce. Other uses include gathering information about inventory levels to help better determine what types of products are bought at which store, when and how often. This can be used for inventory and production, to make sure that the store (or
