Professional and Ethical Responsibilities
Since our system is meant to be used by other professionals – like a company – they have the responsibility to set their own professional and ethical standards in the use of our system. However, there are some major responsibilities we have to those companies and these responsibilities are: non-disclosure of confidential information and security procedures. It is the computer age, important records and information about the company is stored and accessed by computers. By switching to our system and the maintenance that comes with it, the company entrusts us with handling ( even if temporarily) some of their data. With that in mind, we have the professional responsibility to keep that information confidential. The same goes for security procedures – since our system will be used by the company we have to make sure that the system is secure enough to protect that company's confidential information. The challenge for this project is to maximize the security of the system so that our clients will have the utmost confidence that their information is safe.
As said before, our system is to be used by other professionals – thus the ethical responsibility rests on those companies. Some ethical questions that those companies would have to decide on include:
-
Should the employees be able to access the internet?
-
Should the employees be able to use the proxy laptop for anything other than work?
Our system would be made able to do these things – like surf the web. However it is up to our clients to make the ethical decisions of how to treat their employees who use this device.
