A Report to the Supervisor

Since Lawn and Order Service's Information and technology division was founded, many problems have appeared. These problems pose a major danger to the organization’s activities both presently and in the future. I discovered after looking into the present state of Lawn and Order Services that the developer of the business only employed one employee for each role. It has come to my attention that only a limited number of authorized executives from every ICT division are able to access data on the organizational webpage using personalized credentials. There are numerous issues with this approach. Since no other individual has accessibility to the system to perform the activities, thus workers can only perform the duties and jobs that have been allocated to them.

These people are the exclusive ones employed by the company who have accessibility to the necessary information. Since it puts the company's information in jeopardy, this is not the wisest course of action. The company won't have the lawful authority to access the webpage and operate it owing to adverse provider constraints and a lack of access encryption details. Additionally, if the IT directors were required to leave for health grounds, left their jobs for private purposes, or were sacked by the company, this might have serious consequences for the company. The concerns will emerge if the appropriate IT directors exploits the data they have access to in order to oversee and repudiate clients' consent about their private data (The human factor in IT security: How employees are making businesses vulnerable from within, 2021). Consequently, if the company lost connectivity to its IT system or workers for a prolonged period of time, it risked failing without sufficient continuity strategy. A corporation's IT facilities are safeguarded by the guidelines provided in cyber-security policies. Without it, the business won't be able to address security concerns, create strategies to lower IT safety threats, or decide what to perform in the event that IT systems are damaged or destroyed (Abdulmajeed & Bob, 2020).
