Discuss ways that the IT organization can counter the negative impacts of social networking. Explain how the IT organization can maintain an ethical posture while managing organizational behavior related to social networking. There are several positive and negative impacts of social networking for businesses.  Positive Impacts • Increase website traffic – Social media posts and ads are keyways to drive traffic to the business website. Sharing great content from blogs or website to social media is a great way to get readers as soon as a post is published. • Increase brand awareness – Social media is one of the most cost-efficient digital marketing methods used to syndicate content and increase your business’ visibility. Implementing a social media strategy will greatly increase brand recognition since it will be engaging with a broad audience of consumers.  • Better customer satisfaction – Social media is a networking and communication platform. Creating a voice for the company through these platforms is important in humanizing the company. Customers appreciate knowing that when they post comments on your pages, they will receive a personalized response rather than an automated message.  Negative Impacts • Negative publicly – In the days before social media, negative company experiences might stay within an individual’s circle of friends; now, stories of bad customer service and disappointing products can run quickly through social media networks. It has become more difficult for companies to contain negative publicity. • Unauthorized Employees Speaking on Company’s Behalf – It’s difficult for companies to monitor employee social media activity and prevent them from speaking on company matters without authorization.  • Reduced Control over content – One of the defining characteristics of social media platforms is the ability of multiple users to interact with a single piece of content. These interactions, such as reposts, “Likes” and comments, are what shape social media success, but they can also turn against a campaign if the comments are negative or off-topic. I think the positives outweigh the negative in every way. Social media is a great way for businesses to get their brand out there and interact with customers. It is free marketing if done correctly. Business can do their best to counter the negative impacts of social media in several ways. One way is to teach employees not to respond or post information about business unless they are authorized to. Another way is to respond to customer complaint for help quickly.

Respond to the colleagues posts regarding: “Data Protection and Security” Please respond to the following:   • As the CIO of a company engaged in business today, one of the main areas of focus is data protection. Discuss the key data protection points that must be taken into consideration prior to a strategy plan and policy being established for a company that has large data repositories and numerous external partners. • Assess the value that the International Standards Organization (ISO) provides CIOs, regardless of the industry in which the company is engaged. Explain whether adherence to the standards is essential to overall security management.     PW’s post states the following: Some of the key points in Data Protection are Data Security, Data Transmission, Data Storage, Data Encryption, Data Reuse, End-of-Agreement Data Handling, Data Destruction and Right to Audit. – Data security: Clauses related to policies and general data security practices. – Data transmission: How your organization’s data must be transmitted, both hardcopy and electronic transmissions as appropriate. – Data storage: How the data must be stored. (Do you need your sensitive data encrypted at rest?) Consider also terms regarding data stored on removable media, backup tapes, and the like. – Data encryption: If encryption is required, outline in the agreement acceptable encryption technologies and any associated requirements you may have for data that is stored globally, especially where there may be government requirements about export laws related to encryption. – Data reuse: Affidavits that address data reuse. – End-of-agreement data handling: How data must be returned. – Data destruction: Outline controls on how electronic and hardcopy data that is no longer required must be destroyed so that it can no longer be used. – Right to audit: Legal terms that permit your organization the right to audit the environment(s) and systems associated with your data.   The International Standards Organization maintains a family of stadards under ISO27000 that address various components of information security management. The main standards are ISO/IEC 27000: 2009, ISO/IEC 27001: 2005, ISO/IEC 27002:2005, ISO/IEC 27003, ISO/IEC 27004, ISO/IEC 27005: 2008, ISO/IEC 27006: 2007, and  ISO/IEC 27007. References Lane, D.
