Choose an organization from the education, financial, or health care sector to study throughout this course. Each week you explore different aspects within the IT division of the organization, including: 

• 3 dimensions of risk management 
• Potential risks during a server       database migration 
• Request for proposal for new web       servers 

Imagine you’ve been asked by the CIO of the organization you chose to create a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation, along with an accompanying summary guide handout, for the managers of the IT, accounting/finance, and engineering departments to inform them of the 3 dimensions of risk management (risk identification, risk assessment, and risk mitigation). 

The 3 dimensions of risk management shape the organizational framework of project risk management and determine the degree of freedom used to classify various realizations of uncertainties, resulting in a formalized systematic analysis of physical systems. 

Research information about the organization you chose to complete this week’s assignment. 

Part A: 

Create a 4- to 6-slide, media-rich Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that describes each of the 3 dimensions, including their definitions, values, and importance to your company. Identify the potential security risks to an organization in each of the following outsourcing situations: 

• The implementation of an external       service provider for data/security protection 
• The use of contractual service       providers for processing information systems applications such as a       payroll, human resources, or sales order taking 
• The use of an offshore company to       support your desktop computers 
• The use of a third-party governance       program to provide network support 

Note: Include multimedia such as graphics, pictures, video clips, or audio in a media-rich presentation. 

Part B: 

Create a 1-page Microsoft Word Summary Guide on your presentation. 

Include the following: 

• Discuss risk considerations during the       development and implementation of information systems 
• Discuss the importance of information       systems risk management 
• Summarize the organizational risk       management framework 
• Include the risk register of the       highest risk of information security to the organization 

Include APA-formatted citations to support your assignment. 

 Why is it important for Strategic Communication to have a code of ethics? 

Discussion:

discuss digital forensics and how it could be used in a risk management program.

Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least TWO of the following:

• Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
• Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
• Provide extensive additional information on the topic
• Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
• Share an applicable personal experience
• Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA 7)
• Make an argument concerning the topic.

Research Paper:

• What are mobile forensics and do you believe that they are different from computer forensics?
• What is the percentage of attacks on networks that come from mobile devices?
• What are challenges to mobile forensics?
• What are some mobile forensic tools?
• Should the analysis be different on iOS vs Android?

 Consider the common problems with project cost estimation and recall a project with which you have been involved. Which of these common problems did you encounter most often? Why? 

 differences between and advantages of MAC, DAC, and RBAC.

In 500 words or more, d iscuss the risk and costs of compromised data integrity breaches. Focus on integrity not confidentiality. Look at military, education, science, medicine, finance, utilities, municipalities, etc.

Use at least three sources.  Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library, not Google.   Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format.

 WEEK 6 ASSIGNMENT – PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM AND DESCRIPTION

Week 6 Assignment – Process Flow Diagram and Description

Overview

You just received a memo from the Project Manager with updates and a request for a process flow diagram. Read the memo below. 

Memo from the PM:We have decided to buy space on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and maintain our own e-commerce applications and databases there. This was based partly on your recommendation and the recommendation of the other team members.What does this mean for you?We’ll need your part of the project to go into a Business Requirements Document for the project plan to be sent up to the CEO for final approval. The CIO and I will review your work, so please be detailed in your responses so that we can allocate resources appropriately.

Instructions

For this week, you will need to create a process flow diagram for the project plan, showing how you want things to go with the new system. You can build on previous design work you’ve done in this area or start from scratch.You have all the Microsoft products available to you in the marketing department, so feel free to use any Microsoft product to create the process flow diagram. Visio is very popular among IT folks, so feel free to create your process flow diagram using Visio, but you can also use MS Word, PowerPoint, or whatever you’re comfortable with, as long as the output is a PDF or a Microsoft document.Your process flow diagram should include each of the following elements:

• Easy-to-read formatting, including a font size that is large enough to easily read, simple language that is easy to understand quickly, and a clearly visible title that identifies the process being diagrammed.
• A clear start and end to the process flow. All items are in the proper sequence with arrows or other directional objects used to indicate that sequence. Flow is logical throughout.
• Distinct shapes for each necessary action, and are identified clearly through a legend.

Take a look at the Example Process Flow Diagram [PDF] for reference.In addition to the process flow diagram, you will also need to use the MS Word template to submit a written description of the diagram to ensure that the PM and any others reading the diagram will know what is being communicated. Your description, much like your diagram, will be specific to the process you are supporting in the project based on your area of expertise.Your description should respond to the questions below that align with your role in the project and should address all parts of the process flow diagram:Data Analytics: How data will be stored, created, modified, and deleted. Include all the requirements such as data security, data integrity, resilience, etc.Data Management: Physical storage and security. Backup and disaster recovery plan, access control, etc.Cybersecurity: Access control, malware concerns, physical and logical access, forensic investigation, etc.IT Project Manager: Project control, PM methodologies, scope control, end-user input, training, etc.Networking: Physical and logical topologies, network infrastructure build-out and expansion, required equipment and physical media acquisition and control, etc.Software Developers: Applications needed, input from end-users, design process, steps of the SDLC for app development, etc.Note: Since this is the capstone class, work you submitted to a previous class is permitted but must be 100% original work created by you and not shared with anyone else. The best process, therefore, is to build on previous work and adapt to your fictitious company for this ongoing project.As a reminder, for this assignment, you are submitting two deliverables that are 100% original:

1. A process flow diagram in PDF format.
2. A written memo using the provided MS Word template that includes an image of your process flow diagram.

Due Sep 12, 11:59pm, PT…………20 hours left

Need to write about 2 pages (1.5 line spacing and 11 or 12 font size) of summary of chapter, so that it contains:

(part 1) important concepts of the chapter

(part 2) experience/application/opinions of the chapter.  

Case Study 12.2: “First Come, First Served”: Resource Challenges for Sunrise RestorationThis case is intended to highlight the challenges in resource assignment, particularly in the common cases where project managers within the same firm are competing with each other for the use of scarce and valuable human resources to accomplish their tasks.  Without clear guidance from top management and a valid priority system, the ability to acquire resources is often the result of chaotic bargaining and negotiation among equals. This case is based on a real situation and the outcomes were very much in line with the way they are described in the case.  The business owner did not want to simply invest in more resources for fear that they would be underutilized.  He much preferred the system of negotiating among his project managers, even if that led to inefficient utilization of the resources that were available.  Students can be asked to take the side of the owner or Tyler to debate the options that Sunrise can use to manage its resources.Questions

1. Describe some of the resource constraints that Sunrise and its project managers are facing.
2. Is Sunrise’s current model of prioritizing resource assignments viable?  Why or why not?
3. How could technology alleviate some of Sunrise’s resource management issues?
4. Would Tyler’s suggestion to hire additional technicians and purchase more equipment solve the resource problems at Sunrise?  Why or why not?
