Sorry for the second post, I forgot to ask:

"criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of data security  
management strategies"

Does anyone know if these are specified anywhere??  I cannot find  
them in the study design. Criteria for other things are specified in  
the glossary, but not for this.   Of course I can tell my students  
what's important in security, but will they be required to list  
actual concisely-worded criteria?  This topic doesn't seem to be very  
amenable to simple criteria, it's more a grab-bag of "what-if's".

Potts talks about integrity, security, ease of retrieval and currency  
of files, but these are actually the study design glossary's measures  
of effectiveness of a file management system, not of security  
management in particular.   I doubt "is secure" would be accepted as  
a criterion for effectiveness of a security system! May as well just  
put "is effective" as an effectiveness criterion!

thanks
