Cincom Systems is a global leader in the development, implementation and service of enterprise software that is specifically designed for the needs of complex manufacturers. Its security and ethics policies reflect the company's long-standing customer relationships with defense contractors both in the U.S., and in the United Kingdom, France and Australia. Each of these nations use Cincom's software to manage their complex defense systems. As a result of these long-standing and trust-based relationships, Cincom must adhere to very stringent requirements for data and information security. The intent of this analysis is to explain how Cincom Systems used the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) triad to better manage security requirements, and to also define the formal and informal security policies the company has in place. Having served as an intern for the company for two years, specifically during summer and winter breaks, much of the information shared in this paper was a result of those experiences. The main security information threats, how information security is managed, and how Cincom monitors computer and online usage are also discussed. Restrictions on the access to company data is also provided in this analysis.

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, a Profession is: a. a calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long and intensive academic preparation b. a principal calling, vocation, or employment and c. the whole body of persons engaged in a calling. Increasingly management as a class of employment has come to be seen as a profession which qualifies on all three levels of this definition. Though there are ways into this particular profession that do not necessarily require years of intensive academic education, varying by industry and often pay scale there is a clear sense that those who engage in management as a vocational calling often require both years of education and years of internal preparation to hold the position (Crainer, 2010, pp. 12-16). Increasingly, the prerequisite to a management position is sought through formal education and a combination of formal education and provable experience in or out of the industry where the former organisation managed is seen as successful and profitable. Crainer states: The last century witnessed the dramatic genesis of management – management emerged as a profession. It has moved from an unspoken, informal, ad hoc activity into one that is routinely analysed and commented on from every angle possible. Management has emerged from the shadows to be recognized as one of the driving forces of economic and personal life. Nothing – no organisation, no activity – now appears beyond the scope or ambition of management. (p. 13) By varying degree of field and organisation management has become a much more formal ideation and practice, with higher standards of professionalism and higher standards of action for those who participate.
