7.1- IS Security

The threats to DCQ Pizza Parlor's Management Information System Security are viruses, outside intruders, accidents/natural disasters, employees/consultants, and links to outside businesses. Viruses can destroy data of important records of recently bought pizza and other products or documents within our company hard drives. Antiviral software such as AVG is recommended to protect our computers from harmful viruses. Natural disasters such as earthquakes or fires can physically endanger our hardware; so, backups are necessary to prevent permanent loss of data. Employees can interfere with transactions with our suppliers if they can access important files or even reduce the amount of time they work each day ; therefore, access-control software is used to limit employee access. Outside intruders can intercept important messages between our company and our partners and alter them completely; firewalls are needed to prevent them access. Links to our outside business contacts can allow people to access all our information with our partners if not protected. Using physical access restrictions can create keys and passwords so only important personnel can access those links.

6.1- Web 2.0

DCQ Pizza Parlor can use the pillars of Web 2.0 to improve competitive advantage. By "Utilizing the Web as a platform", we can conduct business with our suppliers and receive notices on shipment of supplies and transactions between our company and our suppliers."Harnessing Collective Information" allows us to display on our website menus of our products, notices of any deals, and display our phone number and address to potential customers. Through "Leveraging the Data" we can use databases to allow our website to display certain products depending on what the user typed; typing in "pizza with no meat" would display all our pizzas that have no meats as an example. "Implementing Innovative Web Capabilities" can create a feature that allows customers to gain points that allows them to buy free products whenever they order online.
