The ethics behind any organization are deemed vital to uphold and
comprehend over time. It is without a doubt absolute importance to
ensure the security and privacy of any and all forms of personal data
of any individual regardless of how it is obtained and where it is being
transmitted. In scenario 2, the absolute error that the individual made
was leaving their work computer unattended with a colleague who
does not work for the same company and ultimately losing this device
and never contacting tech support to report a possible data breach.
What could be done is to have the laptop stored in a more portable
bag such as a backpack with a travel lock secured onto the lock
compartment of the bag, and kept on the person at all times. If the
device goes missing, tech support must be contacted immediately as
every second counts, and any chance of the data within the system
being breached can be lowered through remote encryption and
formatting of the device.
