Prepare a report to investigate how IS security can be enforced in a selected organisation.

The development of improved information system development and its management is a very crucial for the alignment of the effective operation development (Davies, Dean & Ball, 2013). The integration of the information system with all the active development of the operations would align with the formation of the improved operation development. The information system development would help in forming the alignment of the improved functional and operational activities of the organization. Woolworths is famous for providing online retail services to the customer on a global scale.

The following assignment is formed for forming the development of the improved functional analysis and development of the active implementation model. The integration would form the management of the supportive development operations. The report would align for the integration of the profound system development. The report would help in analysing various services used at Woolworths and the analysis would also help in forming the alignment of the successive development of the activities. The application control strategy implemented by the organization development and system implementation. The successive alignment of GMCs and ACs would be aligned for the management of the improved operation development. The risk management techniques used for the improvement of the Woolworths would also be explained in the report below.

Woolworthss have been forming the development of the successive operation development and the alignment of the improved operation development. The operation development would also help in listing the services for the online development and integration. The alignment of the activities would also help in listing the formation of the successive development. The integration of the operations would align with the deployment of the successive development. The alignment of the operation for the retail function development would help in ceasing the management of the functions.

Retail Operations: The alignment of the functions would help in easing the modulation of the functions for the formation of the improved functional development this (Galliers and Leidner 2014). The alignment of the retail activities would allow the formation of successive development model. The information system development would allow the formation of the activities for listing the management of the improved operation development. The various services for the project would comprise of developing the operations for aligning with the sales processes of the organization. The improvement of the operations would also tend to form the development of the integration.

Benefits of Implementing the Information System at Woolworths

E-commerce: The organization of Woolworthss would also be benefitted by the global explanation with the help of improved organization development (Venkatesh, Brown & Bala, 2013). The implication of the e-commerce would be helpful the organization for implying with the development of the effective operation development. The integration of the e-commerce strategy would help the organization for listing the development of the successive integration of the operations and the listing the formation of the improved activities.

The information system development would be helpful for the alignment of the improved functional development for Woolworthss (Stair & Reynolds, 2013). The management of the information development would help the continuation of the operations for listing the activities of integrated development operations. The alignment of the operations would tend to develop the integration of the operations and alignment of the successive development. The formation of the alignment would help in listing the management of the success management for the development. The integration would be helpful for the alignment of the operations. The integration would align the management for the applied development modification (Laudon & Laudon, 2015). The deployment of the operations had helped in forming the management of the effective activity development. The benefits of implementing the information system are,

Customer Data Management: The management of the customer data would be implied for the development of the operations and alignment of the successive development of the alignment. The customer data management would be aligned with the formation of the operations and the alignment of the improved operation development (Arvidsson, Holmström & Lyytinen, 2014). The management would be aligned for the implication and it would be formed for the management of the successive integration management. The data management would be implied for the alignment of the improved development model.

Stock Maintenance: The maintenance of the stock would result in forming the alignment of the effective development of the operations. The development of the information system is aligned for the maintenance of the influential management of the stock (Whittington, 2014). The maintenance of the stock would be eased by the development of the information system. The stock management is implied for the alignment of the operations and alignment of the integration of the activities and alignment of the successive management.

The General Management Controls or GMC is aligned for the integration of the organizational and it would be aligned for the management of the activities and it would result in the management of the improved activities. The integration of the activities and it would align with the development of the improved operation development (Panetto & Cecil, 2013). The management control methods are planned by the management for the implication of the controls and enabling the work preceding. The management had planned the implication of the activities for aligning with the organizational resources. The development of the project plan would allow the integration of general management controls for the alignment of the improved operation development.  

Customer Data Management at Woolworths

The general management controls are aligned for the Woolworths based on the trio factors of corrective action, standard development and the actual performance measurement. The GMC in the organization would involve the management of the successive development alignment of the operation development (Van Der Aalst, La Rosa & Santoro, 2016). The implication of the excellent development of the relation would align for the management of the customer relation with the maintenance of the operation development. The proper training of the staff would be aligned for the alignment of the improved operation development. The compliance of laws and integrity would form the attitude and competence in operation. The attenuation of the organizational objectives would form the management of the goals and objectives. The alignment of the operations would be aligned for the deployment of the improved activities. The inclusion of the corrective operations would help in forming the assurance of the integral activity development.

According to Kravets and Lapshina (2013), there are seven types of application control that would be helpful for the alignment of the security practice for the development of the improved activities and alignment of the processes like completeness checking, validity checking, identification, authorization, authentication, input controls, and forensic controls. The seven types of application control have been explained below,

Completeness Checking	As the name suggests, the process is helpful for the controlling of the entire process and activities involved
Validity Checking	The validating checking is helpful for the alignment of the activities and formation of the valid data correction.
Identification	A unique id is assigned to each of the activities and user and the access is dependent on the operations of the organization.
Authorization	The authorization is implied for ensuring that only limited and authentic users might be able to get the access in the system.
Authentication	The authentication is based on the use of a specific code or passkey for getting authorization in the system.
Input Controls	The limitation of the input variables in the system would help in keeping the operations of Woolworths in control
Forensic Controls	The forensic control is implied for ensuring that the alignment of the activities would help the management of the improved operation development.

The general management controls are utilized for the information system of Woolworths and similarly the application control is also utilized for the alignment of the operations and development of the smart activities that are helpful for the alignment of the information controls (Cassidy, 2016). The comparison of the general management controls and application controls would be based on the study of various literatures and the alignment of the effective development operations. According to Power, Sharda and Burstein (2015), the general management controls are aligned with the inclusion of the several activity alignment and the policy development. The several applications are helpful for the aligning with the operation development and the inclusion of the applications for the proper development of the controls of the policies and procedures. However, the application control is helpful for the alignment of the activities and developing smart operation development. The development of the activities would help in easing the management of the operations.

The controls are applied for the development of the activities and it would result in forming the allowance of the activities and deployment of the improved operation development. The mainframe would be implied for the development of the activities and it would show the control over the network operations and data centre (Petter, DeLone & McLean, 2013). The acquisition of the system software, accessing of security, development as well as maintenance, acquisition of application system, and changing and maintenance are implied with the help of GMC. On the contrary, () have stated that application control strategy would be helpful for the management of the operations and alignment of the effective development model. The key factors for the alignment of the operations would help for the management of the control activities.
