ABSTRACT

Who governs actions? What are the repercussions? The

individual is a constituent of many groups or sets. For

example: you are a member of a family, a community, an

organization, and a business. If you do something wrong at

the family holiday celebration (yes, everyone saw what

you did), one or more family members will call you the

next day and let you have it. If you do something wrong as

a CISSP (not again?), the (ISC)2 Ethics Review Board

will be sending you a nasty e-mail and perhaps revoking

your membership. If you do something unacceptable on the

file server at work, you should get an automated message

explaining the policy violation, and your organization’s

counselor will expect you to set up a meeting to discuss

the situation. This perfect world of repercussions for

improper actions can be achieved via a mix of technical

and administrative controls focused on accountability.
