“Information is a significant component of most organizations’ competitive strategy either by the direct collection, management, and interpretation of business information or the retention of information for day-to-day business processing. Some of the more obvious results of IS failures include reputational damage, placing the organization at a competitive disadvantage, and contractual noncompliance. These impacts should not be underestimated.”
The IIA Research Foundation

“The paradox of privacy is that the more I seek to protect it, the more I reveal about my need for it.”
Timsux Wales
