¶ … Security
The author of this report has been asked to answer a few questions as it relates to information security. Specifically, it will be answered to what metrics or proverbial yardsticks could or should be used to measure information security and information privacy.

An employee doing so in large fashion or in excess over time can lead to a huge nightmare for a firm and/or its customers.
