Technology Risk
I chose this risk because of the potential equipment and internet failure. These key factors
can be one of the reasons what’s bring the business down based on what’s affected. Being able to
maintain equipment and have reliable internet service and install backups for batteries will help
the business stay afloat. If the system shuts down for any reason departments will have to
transition everything to be done on paper. This will slow the process down and once the
power/internet comes back up all the information on paper will need to be entered again in the
actual system. Paper will be utilized to document sales. IT will be involved for all technical
problems including computers, power issues, and the internet. I know by scanning the devices
for viruses and potential malware on a day-to-day basis will make sure all systems are running
and helps prevent an infection which could spread to all devices on the same network.
Technology risk is a big factor because that’s how the business operates, document information,
and keep data. Also, when the technology is exposed or there’s a failure in the system the
potential cost to get it fixed is a lot. I know having IT on stand-by in case of system failures or
malfunctions is good, but if the hardware must be replaced that’s a cost the business may not
have. Another policy which can be in effect is to prevent BYOD (Bring your own device), this is
to ensure that the staff is only using approved equipment issued by the company. BYOD can be
dangerous because you may not know what’s that staff members device or if by them using their
device at the business while on network can lead to virus if the device is not kept up or secure.
To minimize technology risk, firewalls and hardware must be maintained. Also upgraded to help
prevent any threats and failures. The reason being is if the business continues to use outdated
technology, risk is increased and trying to resolve the issue on short notice is not likely to be
completed.

Ordering Supplies
I know if the supply inventory is low then we'll have to order more. Supplies need to be
ordered on time to account for the two-day shipping. Which is a priority for the business to
function and operate accordingly. The business will not be able to run smoothly if the supplies
are not purchased initially. As in any other business, there is always a person in charge of
inventory; it will need to be managed electronically because everything will need to be
documented and accounted for. If theirs is an item that needs to be ordered, the amount of time it
takes to ship the item or if it’s delayed due to a holiday will have to be documented as well. Also,
the business must keep in mind that if they do not have a specific item or it’s hard trying to order
another one, some items are more popular than others. Making it difficult to order that specific
item on time. The demand for that item will be higher which will result to the item being out-of-
stock. As supplies are being delivered on schedule with no delays, there is less risk of not having
to worry about the item and the business can continue focusing on the day-to-day operations. The
reason why I chose ordering supplies is because it is just as important as technology. Supplies
help the business work and maintain balance to keep producing high quality products for their
consumers. More supplies must be ordered before they are fully depleted, also accounting for
delivery time. Must have local supplies near when the actual supplies are gone. If supplies
continue to run low, the business will have to include a backup plan in case of emergencies.
Having local supplies on hand is a good way to continue the day-to-day operations until the
actual supplies needed have come in. As the business continues to growth along with the
employees, they will always have extra supplies, low risk in technology, safety procedures will
be up to date, and physical security will be maintained.
