We know that the budget for development is generous, but at the same time we also know that the budget for maintenance is scarce. With any system of such size, security is also an issue. With so many personal details being held on a system and even just the purpose for which it is being used means that we would want the system to be secured in a number of ways, this including data integrity and the prevention of unauthorized access.

Security is always an issue when addressing large systems, especially even more when they hold personal details which may violate data protection laws if not given restricted access. Likewise such sized systems may also be victim to hacker attacks, whether through a network or perhaps the internet should the admissions system be integrated online. According to the specification McBride Financial Service gets a large number of...
