SETTING UP PASSWORDS:

 Many security issues do not occur from external sources, but however, occur from the inexperienced people's knowledge. The purpose of internal access is to obtain information from the database, access any research data, view sales reports and also view marketing statistics or human resource records. Information is valuable to people especially when they can sell the information

If a password is given to a person, it means the person whose manager may not want to know the password may have access to the system

 To minimize the chances of employees losing access to the system, managers need to 100% trust the person they give the password. These are usually workers who are higher than the business stairs and may be there longer with the same company which means they let them change the correct data

TAKING PRECAUTIONS OVER SECURITY OF DATA:
