Ethical standards and sustainability measures are not just for marketing purposes. They have become key elements in modern corporate planning. As a result, the modern IT department has to plan and enact ethical standards and sustainability measures that support corporate design and intent.
Assignment Deliverables
For your Main Post, list an ethical standard or a sustainability measure that you have either seen implemented by an IT department or which you feel would be appropriate for an IT department to implement. The standard or measure that you select must be appropriate to the goals and operations of an IT department, and you must describe how and why this would work. How would it be implemented? Are there any potential pain points or pitfalls to such an implementation?
Policies related to user account passwords are not allowed for this discussion, though they may be included in your Unit 5 Individual Project (IP).
Support your work with at least 1 source that shows that standard or measure in use in a modern IT department or similar environment. For example, if your company has an ethical standard of not allowing IT personnel to see user passwords (they can only reset them), this is supported by most network operating systems including Windows, which hides user passwords from the administrator’s view.
When composing replies to fellow students, suggest a potential pitfall from their featured measure or standard or suggest some ways to deal with a pitfall that is being discussed. Remember to be constructive and professional in your responses.
Note: You can use one of the measures that you plan to include in your Unit 5 IP submission, but your Main Post must be entirely original writing, not writing from your paper. If you use the same text in your paper, this will trip the similarity score and can lead to negative repercussions.
