Paper B2- Organizational Policy to address an IT-related ethical issue that you wrote about in your matrix for the B1 assignment

Write an organizational policy to address the IT-related ethical workforce privacy issue that you described in Matrix B1, where you mapped key organizational issues and identified how these ethical issues were affected by laws, regulations, and policies.

 

The following elements must be addressed:

 

  1. Look at other policies to see how they are written. The following site provides examples of templates for policies but an Internet search provides other templates: http://www.sans.org/security-resources/policies/computer.php


  1. Your policy should include the following major headings:

  1. Overview of policy

  2. Purpose of the policy

  3. Scope (roles and responsibilities of stakeholders)

  4. Policy/Procedures to follow -  (Note: you should be aware that a policy only describes "what," the staff of an organization will do, while a procedure describes "how," the staff of an organization will accomplish a required action. As a result, this section should only discuss the specific measures, needs, or changes to behavior within the organization in terms of policy points, i.e., what they must do to conform to the policy. Any procedures that are needed to assist in doing the “what,” are usually included by reference later in the policy  procedures should not be included in the policy points).

  5. Sanctions/Enforcement

  1. Prepare a 3-5 page, double-spaced paper with your Organizational Policy.

  2. The assignment requires a minimum of three external references. Indicate appropriate APA reference citations for all sources you use.
