The organization that we will use is a small community bank. This type of organization was selected because everyone in the course should have some familiarity with banks, a community bank has a smaller scope, the banking industry has regulatory requirements to follow, and public trust in banking is very important.

Include the five federal requirements and three additional requirements based on market competitors (local banks – such as MECU, SECU, PointBreeze Credit Union, 1st Mariner Bank, Rosedale Federal Savings and Loan). Please detail the mission, vision, and values to support the justification for the “information security needs”.

Each policy document should be well organized per the outlines presented in the text or another reference. Each policy should be between 2 and 4 pages and it will be graded based on its completeness in addressing the topic, not on its length.

*ROUGH DRAFT and PROJECT TIPS ARE ATTACHED*  

Graduation Party Location

It is now time to revisit your graduation planning activities by  choosing your location and entertainment for the party. You will do this  by creating tables to compare the attributes and issues of your various  choices.

Click on the link below, Week 2 Project Tips, for some visual aids on how to tackle this week’s project.

Week 2 Project Tips

Create a new Microsoft Word document and save it as W2P_LastName.docx. Note that you might want to change your page orientation to landscape to better fit your data.

1. Create a table to compare the different locations you chose in Week 1.  You can add a table to your document by using the Table icon in the  Insert ribbon of Microsoft Word. Your table should include the following  columns – you can see an example of this layout in the Week 2 Project Tips:
   • Location: List the three possible locations.
   • Web site: Include the URL hyperlink for each location’s Web site.
   • Positives: Include a bulleted or numbered list* of positive attributes of each.
   • Negatives: Include a bulleted or numbered list of issues for each location.
   • Estimated Cost: Include the cost(s) associated with using the location/facility.
     *You  can create a list using the icons in the Paragraph panel of the Home  ribbon (Bullets, Numbering, or Multilevel). Changing the margin settings  of the cells with bullets can be helpful.
2. Beneath your table, write a paragraph of at least 50 words to include:
   • Identify which location you chose.
   • Justify why you made the choices you did using the information in the tables to guide your decision.
   • Check the Status bar at the bottom of the window to see the word count.
      
3. Finally add the finishing touches to the paper.
   • Add page numbers in the Footer (bottom of your page).
   • Add a Header that includes the name of your event and your name.
   • Add some formatting and color to your table.
   • Bold and center the table headings.
   • You can change the color of your text or the color of the background  to color code your table or make it more readable. Be creative and have  fun!

By the due date assigned, submit your completed document to the Submissions Area. In the Comments box, briefly share your experiences with completing this project.

• Write a paper on HIPAA compliance law/policy and describe how to conduct IT auditing for compliance with it.
• Feel free to discuss suitable audit-framework
• The presentation should be 4 pages

In this assignment, you will write a Java program that implements the solution to the bounded buffer problem between a producer and a consumer. The producer will produce forever and the consumer will consume forever. The producer will put data into the buffer and the consumer will remove data from the buffer. The buffer must implement a means of ensuring that the buffer never enters an under flow (take too much data out) or over flow put too much data into the buffer. Additionally the buffer must have functionality so that a critical region problem does not occur with parallel updates to the data. 

Test you application by creating a java thread for the produce, the consumer and having them access a shared buffer with declared size 5. 

Please search and analyze contemporary incidents in the fields of CS, CE, and IT outside the US that has an ethical impact to the society. v
