Privacy, it's a whole new ball game.
As Data has moved from paper to computers to distributed networks and the internet, data has been loose in the world and now more than ever it is availble for nearly everyone to access. Blogs, online opinion sites and the advent of social networks have created blurry lines for individuals and companies and how the promote themselves without risking information that in the wrong hands can creat nuisance as in internet libel sanctions for malappropraite remarks to identity theft. Getmar Corporation has recognized this growing area of discomfiture, and has embraced it as one of our specialties.
What the heck is META DATA?
Metadata lurks in every electronic document each of us creates and edits. Every computer application and platform we use also generates metadata. The consequences of human error are greatly magnified in the 21st century by the prevalence of electronic communication and the ability of anyone with a web browser to download nearly any e-info available.
Confidentiality means keeping the access, use, and dissemination of information controlled to the extent required by law, contract, or business need (such as the protection of trade secrets or business plans). Integrity means keeping data and systems reliable -- secure against modifications by well-meaning but ill-informed employees, as well as secure against modification by competitors, viruses, hackers, or others who might want to maliciously modify data or take control of your systems to attack other networks.
Availability means enabling data access to those who need it to do their jobs efficiently, effectively, and creatively, while preventing or defeating attacks such as denial of service attacks against Websites or Web-accessible data, introduction of viruses, Trojan horses, and other malware, and spam attacks, etc. -- activities that can reduce the efficiency or availability of critical business systems.
Protecting these assets requires top down policy development and enterprise-wide implementation. Rules and procedures must be established for proper access to, and use of, information assets. These rules must be enforced and managers must be held accountable because failures are likely to cause harm.
It's no surprise GETMAR's success over the last two decades is attributed to our business solutions development practices which include those listed below
An American has no sense of privacy. He does not know what it means.There is no such thing in the country.
