CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According
to Njoku, (2005) “one can say that the journey of a document is not an
easy one, but could be by saying that the security of a document is an
easy one if certain principles are adhered to.
Causes and effects of
leakages of confidential information has remained un-rectifiable factor
in business organizations, and also professional offices. But the vent
and channels through which these matters get out of place remains the
bane of some productive organizations. This is because important files
or figures are exposed to those who are not supposed to have access to
them.
Confidential information is those official issues with
paramount importance to business organizations. Also they can be those
private matters appertaining to office affairs, which also could be seen
as the life wire of a business. And because of its importance should
be kept away from the limelight of the general public.
Leakages of
confidential information are the unauthorized disclosures of certain
information or bringing them to limelight of those who are not supposed
to have access to them. If the information is mismanaged and there is
leakage, there would be exceptional great damage to the organization.
(Ihekwoaba, 2005).
Business organizations are body of persons
organized for some commercial activities aimed at making profit for
themselves; it can be publicly or partly owned. There is a “maxim†that
says business is “secretâ€, therefore official issues which are matters
that are very important to the organization should be kept secret.
Causes
and effects of leakages of confidential information are believed to be
numerous, but some of them will be elaborated to the best of my
knowledge. Confidential information should not be kept at the reach of
everybody in the organization. This is because they form major part of
management decisions and actions. The causes of information leakage must
be those who have access to them.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Causes
and effects of leakages of confidential information have always been of
great concern to both private and public business organizations. It is
an amazing thing to some of the Directors and Managers to discover, that
it is within their midst that those highly important facts of the
organization get out of place. In some instances, their subordinate
like the secretary, clerk, typist and manager are also accused of being
responsible for the circulation of confidential information in the
organization. The perpetrators of this act have persistently continued
to device a new means of getting access to official issues. This study
is embodied on, to find out the best way of keeping official secret
intact and raid of disclosures.
