Most consumers don’t think about security or privacy until it has been compromised and they must deal with the consequences. Your manager at the CPA firm where you work has asked you to produce a customer-oriented security and privacy brochure as part of a rollout plan for new online services the firm plans to offer. When asked for the details of these services so you can write about them, the reply is “I want you to tell me what typical customers really want and need, and then we’ll figure out how to deliver them. I want to start with the notion of security and privacy first!” He walks over and lovingly pats one of the big double doors on the front of the midsized fireproof walk-in safe that fills a back corner of his office. “This lovely old sweetheart is no longer impressive enough to earn us customers concerned about security and privacy.” What issues should the firm be concerned about and what should one include and address in such a brochure?
