Description - Learning Objectives and Outcomes
Identify appropriate baseline controls for a given scenario.
Write policy statements describing the baseline controls.
Assignment Requirements - You are a network administrator in charge of implementing security controls at XYZ, a large, publicly traded healthcare organization. XYZ has 25 sites across the region, 2,000 staff members, and thousands of patients.
Sean, your manager, has asked you to assist him in updating the company's overall security policy. He wants your input on which baseline controls to include that apply to data connections outside the internal network, such as when customers make online payments. He suggests that you consult the latest version of NIST SP 800-53 as your primary resource.
Based on this organizational scenario, complete the following tasks:
Conduct research on IT security policies and baseline controls described in NIST SP 800-53.
Draft brief security policy statements regarding three different controls that apply to the scenario. For example, consider remote access, boundary protection, transmission confidentiality, and integrity baseline controls.
Write a report addressing the tasks above. Include an introduction, summary sections for your findings, and a conclusion section. You must cite your research properly so that your manager may add or refine this report before submission to senior management.
