Analyze security requirements and develop a security policy that fully addresses them. The project will enable the student to see and understand the need standards in practice, as well as the details that should be covered within the security policy documentation.

Detailed Requirements

Optional and Ungraded Project

• Using the GDI Case Study below, complete the Security Policy Document Outline.

• Provide a one or two-page Security Policy Document Outline. The Outline should cover all aspects of the security policy document and convey the accurate and appropriate information for the stakeholders to make the appropriate decision.

Project

• Using the GDI Case Study, complete the Security Policy Document.

The student designs effective real-time security and continuous monitoring measures to mitigate any known vulnerabilities, prevent future attacks, and deter any real-time unknown threats; and also efficiently meets the organization's objectives. The summary should effectively describe the security policy in a manner that will allow the Senior Management to understand the organizational security requirements and make the appropriate decisions to enforce.
