As you have read Lesson 8: Identifying and Mitigating Accountability Risk in uCertify Certified Ethical Emerging Technologist, consider an industry with ambiguous data privacy regulations. Responsibility Assignment Matrices (RACI) can build accountability and help safeguard data. Pick one of the following hypothetical scenarios where a company may lack clear guidance on data privacy measures, leading to potential vulnerabilities and risks of data breaches:
• Scenario 1: In a healthcare organization, there is a need to manage patient data securely, but beyond HIPAA, there are no explicit regulations guiding data privacy practices.
• Scenario 2: In a financial services firm operating in a jurisdiction with evolving data privacy laws, there is a need to proactively protect client financial information.
• Scenario 3: In an e-commerce company operating in a jurisdiction with limited regulations, there is a growing concern about protecting customer information from breaches.
In your initial post, select one of the scenarios and focus on the following:
• Using a RACI Matrix o How do you think a RACI matrix could enhance accountability in
data-handling processes? o Describe some of the roles and hypothetical responsibilities
assigned within the matrix to mitigate data security risks. o Assign examples of individuals or departments who might need
to be considered in the matrix as responsible (R), accountable (A), consulted (C), and informed (I).
• Integration of Ethical Considerations o What other resources would you use to make your decisions
about the handling of sensitive data when there are no guiding regulations?
