Question

Northwestern Data Systems has adopted a new organizational approach with regard to information flow, ensuring that employees have access to the data they need, when they need it. Aware of this new approach, Stacy, an administrative assistant working for a manager in the sales department, requests a report regarding disciplinary action on a manager outside her department. Despite the new company policy, her request is denied, most likely because

Answer 1

neither she nor her supervisor has any demonstrable reason to access such information.

Step-by-step explanation:

When security measures are introduced in information system access in an organisation, an individual is limited to only a defined set of data.

Access to data outside one's normal job role requires a request for addition of such access.

In the given instance Northwestern Data Systems has adopted a new organizational approach that ensures employees have access to the only data they need.

Stacy, an administrative assistant requests a report regarding disciplinary action on a manager outside her department.

She will not be able to get it because she should normally not be able to discipline a manager.

So she can't access it because neither she nor her supervisor has any demonstrable reason to access such information.
