Susan was recently fired from her executive IT position. You have concerns that she has enough knowledge and expertise to sabotage company documents-and you need to delete her access. However, upon beginning, you find information that should be retained in her user directory for future company needs. Consider the process you would take to ensure that Susan no longer has access and that data is retained. In situations like this, do you think the benefits outweigh the risks enough to retain user information? Why or why not?

Steven Copeland · Answer 1

The answer is No, the gains or benefit do not exceed the risk because, even if the data of the user seem very vital, the damage it would have on the long will affect the organisation in a negative way.

Explanation:

From the example given, stating that in situations like this, do you think the benefits outweigh the risks enough to retain user information? Why or why not

I would say that NO, the benefits do not outweigh the risk that will be enough to keep the user information because, just as the user data is important, but the damage it would yield or have could affect the organization on the long run.
