Threat analysis
Since the tenants who form the bulk of membership are not allowed to access the database, the greatest threat to the database comes in the form of the finance department. Any slip on their part would result in the leaking of all the financial information regarding the apartments. Having such information in the public sphere would be useful to competitors who would manipulate such information to suit their needs and mount a successful attack on wildwood apartment strategies. The IT department has remote access to the database. Based on the services used to host the database poses a risk of opening a backdoor that can be used to manipulate the data.
