Business Impact analysis on an organisation

1- Assume that you have been hired by a small to medium organization to help them prepare a contingency planning document. You may choose any organization (or practice). Some examples are: clinic, veterinary practice, credit union, tax preparation office, event management company, accounting firm, real state agency, etc… (Please DO NOT use an ISP as your organization)

2- To help with the preparation of the business contingency document, you conduct a Business Impact Analysis (BIA), following the BIA three stages:

1. Stage 1: Assessing mission critical /business processes and recovery criticality (limit the number of business processes to 5 only).

2. Out of the list in the previous step, choose 2 business missions that are related to information technology and information security.

3. Stage 2: Identifying resource requirements per mission process.

4. Stage 3: Identifying recovery priorities per mission process.

3- Use NIST SP800-34-Rev1-BIA-Template to prepare the BIA . The template file is provided with this assignment, and available at https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Publications/sp/800-34/rev-1/final/documents/sp800-34-rev1_bia_template.docx ).

4- Your completed BIA should not exceed 6 pages.

MIS

 A. Review current computer/technology-related magazines and journals.

 B. Select five (5) technological products NOT CATEGORIES from your review that you consider to be on the “cutting edge” of technology. Give at least a ONE-page product review of each one. This is to be done in your own words. Discuss the products in terms easily understood by someone who does not have a technology background. Include how the product benefits the consumer/user and why you consider the product to be on the cutting edge. Remember to cite your sources. 

C. Select one (1) technological product of the products from B. Your review should be at least two (2) paragraphs. Discuss the products in terms easily understood by someone who does not have a technology background. Include how the product benefits the consumer/user and why you consider the product to be on the cutting edge. 

Remember to cite your sources 

THE PRODUCTS SHOULD BE ACTUAL ITEMS AND NOT CATEGORIES OR TYPES OF PRODUCTS 

Problem 3- Project processes

Activity I: Three new-product ideas have been suggested. These ideas have been rated as shown in the Table below Product* CriteriaABCWeight (%)Development costPFVG10Sales prospectsVGEG15ProducibilityPFG10Competitive advantageEVGF15Technical riskPFVG20Patent protectionFFVG10Compatibility with strategyVGFF20    100* P = poor, F = fair, G = good, VG = very good, E = excellent     

  1. Using an equal point spread for all five ratings (i.e., P = 1 ,  F = 2 ,  G = 3 ,  VG = 4 ,  E = 5 P=1, F=2, G=3, VG=4, E=5), determine a weighted score for each product idea. What is the ranking of the three products?
  2. Rank the criteria, compute the rank-sum weights, and determine the score for each alternative. Do the same using the rank reciprocal weights.
  3. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of this method of product selection?.

Activity II: Using MAUT and the AHP, perform an analysis to select a graduate program. Explain your assumptions and indicate which technique you believe is most appropriate for this application.

Discussion of Invictus jan 20

For HW last week, you were to watch a movie and take some notes. This discussion assignment is designed to be used with the Week 2 video . Please watch the video and pause while you write each of your responses below — refer to the movie in your responses; be as specific as possible: 

Part ONE: Your Responses (from HW — you may cut and paste excerpts from your Homework)

  1. What are THREE words you would use to describe your feelings about Nelson Mandela?
  2. What important problem did Mandela face coming into office? 
  3. We judge that a problem is important by its IMPACT: who was impacted by this problem?
  4. What may have caused the problem?
  5. What did he try in order to solve or mitigate it?
  6. Ultimately, what solution worked best?
  7. How did he implement it?
  8. We can not always solve a problem; sometimes, however, we can mitigate it: how do you know if he succeeded in either solving or mitigating it? 

OS Memory Management

 

Read Chapter 8: Main Memory in Garg, R., & Verma, G. (2017) and answer the following question:

  • Consider a logical address space of eight pages of 1024 words, each mapped onto a memory of 32 frames. Address the following:
  1. How many bits are there in the logical address?
  2. How many bits are there in the physical address?

Read Chapter 9: Virtual Memory.

  1. Do some research to find out how to check the amount of virtual  memory in your own computer. Take a screen shot once you find it, then  copy and paste it to the document that has the answers to questions a)  and b). 

Mini research

Perform a mini research on IAM solutions. 

1) What do you think the future of IAM will be?
2) What would be the major challenges?
3) What will be the trends and why? 

Describe your findings in a one-page report; also include the sources where you get information from.

PROGRAMMNING

Modify the program so that it uses two value-returning functions: one to calculate and return the price of a medium pizza and the other to calculate and return the price of a large pizza. In addition to the $2 coupon on the purchase of a large pizza, Sophia is now e-mailing customers a $1 coupon on the purchase of a medium pizza. Test the program appropriately.
