  read paper and provide feedback/review in the format attached.  Attaching sample reference.  

1. Review the articles from 3.2 Discussion:
   1. IT Governance 
   2. Governance Over IT Service Management Processes Using COBIT 5.0
   3. Lean IT Governance
2. In the discussion linked below, respond to the following prompts:
   1. Provide a summary of IT governance and the use of COBIT. How would using a framework like COBIT help enhance the concerns for managing an IT infrastructure and enforcing best practices? Can you identify another governance framework and compare it to COBIT?
   2. Compare and contrast lean IT governance practices to those of a standard governance framework.
   3. Considering the current governance frameworks, discuss change and improvement in the governance program, such as key points when the plan should be modified.
3. Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 – 300 words. 

Writing an essay: about a comparative analysis of different Information security governance frameworks (CMM, ISO, CoBiT, SABSA)  in terms of (Objectives, Processes, Tools &Techniques,  Controls, strengths & weaknesses).

I have attached the questions in Word document for pivot tables and two python programs along with the additional excel data related to the question for pivot.

1. Review the example of an AUP on the SANS site: https://www.sans.org/reading-room/whitepapers/policyissues/acceptable-policy-document-369.

2. Consider the following fictional organization, which needs an acceptable use policy (AUP):

• The organization is a local credit union with several branches and locations throughout the region.
• A major focus for the organization is online banking.
• The organization’s most critical business function is its customer service department.
• The organization wants to be in compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and IT security best practices regarding its employees.
• The organization wants to monitor and control use of the internet by implementing content filtering.
• The organization wants to eliminate personal use of organization-owned IT assets and systems.
• The organization wants to monitor and control use of the e-mail system by implementing e-mail security controls.
• The organization wants to implement this policy for all the IT assets it owns and to incorporate this policy review into its annual security awareness training.

3. Design an AUP for this fictional credit union, using the online example of the AUP as a template. Your policy does not need to be exhaustive, but it should outline the key components of an AUP and provide policy statements that address the above requirements. You may want to create your policy using word processing software on your local computer and then copy and paste the text into the deliverable field.

Note: While you evaluate the document, notice the following items:

• The policy mentions positions rather than specific names.
• The policy provides an overview of the topic but does not provide specifics on how a task will be completed. This point is the difference between a policy and a procedure.
• The policy provides references to other policies or resources that were used to create it.

Keep this example in mind as you prepare for the next steps.

• Determine what you would like the  computer to be used for (general office work, heavy gaming, Internet  surfing, etc.). Also, determine which operating system will be installed  (be specific; rather than saying “Windows 8” indicate whether it is the  home premium version or the professional version and whether it is 32  bit or 64 bit. Indicate price and source of the operating system.
• Select a relatively modern CPU (something  made in the past two years) made by either Intel or AMD. Make this  selection based on characteristics of the CPU that you believe make it  suitable for the intended use of the computer. Also, base your decision  on information in the text, discussions in class, and your own  individual research. Be sure to completely identify the CPU, where you  would likely buy it, the price, and list the major specifications of  that CPU (core speed, bus speed, amount of L1/L2/L3 cache, number of  cores, etc.)
• Select a motherboard that will support  your chosen CPU. You may want to find a motherboard that has onboard  video but also has an expansion slot to allow for future upgrade of the  graphics capability of the computer. Be sure to indicate how you  determined that this motherboard is compatible with your chosen CPU.  Further, consider the input/output ports and expansion slots. As with  the CPU, indicate where you would buy your motherboard, its cost, and  specifications.
• Select appropriate RAM for your chosen  motherboard and CPU combination. Be sure that you meet or exceed the  amount of memory needed for the chosen operating system and the intended  use of the computer. Take into account whether the motherboard you  chose supports dual-channel memory in determining whether you would buy 1  or 2 DIMMs. As with the other components, indicate where you would buy  your RAM, its cost, and specifications.
• List references used. References should  relate to decision making articles and texts, not just websites where  you would purchase the product. All references must be in APA format.
• Be sure your paper is appropriately formatted as indicated below:
  • APA formatted cover page as well as the entirety of the document.
  • Paragraphs are coherently organized including the use of proper grammar and correct spelling.
  • Includes clearly organized using graphics and tables (where appropriate).
  • Acronyms are spelled out on first use.

 Discussion 6 B

Find a recent article that relates to either employee monitoring that is conceived as too invasive or a recent incident of where employee data has been breached. Summarize the article and discuss how you believe this will impact the company, and application (if applicable). Also, was the data exploited through an application or storage location that is not necessarily needed to run a business? Is it a nice to have? Example: a social media type application.

Post your reply by Wednesday at midnight. Your response should be at least 200 words and appropriately cite your resources.

Respond to two of your classmates by Sunday at midnight. Your responses should be at least 100 words and should be substantive. You should offer additional resources, insight, or other helpful feedback. A simple “I like your post” will result in a 0.

You will not be able to see other posts until you make your first post.

1. Simulation Experiental Exercise – SEE- 2
   Purpose
   To estimate the cost vs time expenditures. {Project Team}
   Instructions
   Build a graph of the budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS) vs the project periods. Discuss any obvious issues with the project as it is planned.
