Task Overview:
Chosen Organization - Walmart
Objectives:
The course objectives met by this assignment include:
LO 1. Evaluate, synthesise and critically review theoretical frameworks with other evidence to provide solutions to real-world problems by applying security management models and practices to security programs;
LO 2. Demonstrate an understanding of change on organisations in the global environment and the impact of these on organisational systems by developing risk management strategies that incorporate appropriate controls;

Background
Using the previous organisation (Walmart) from assessment item one (Report 01), write a research paper that reflects on the current roles and titles of the security personnel. The size of the organisation (small, medium, large) will determine what you are asked to assist in developing a security program. You are needed to invent a cyber security situation to safeguard the selected organisation.
In your research paper, reflect on the current roles and titles of the security personnel and provide suggestions of improvements. Provide a plan to make these changes incorporating training requirements. Determine if the organisation uses any ISO security standards and provide reasoning as to which security model would be more suitable. Determine the suitability of certification. Justify by using threat identification and provide risk assessment for this organisation.
As in the previous assessment item, please make sure NOT to divulge any sensitive information. If you are working for an organisation, use the internet to determine what information is available to the public.
We will require you to provide the URL of the organisation and values, vision, and mission statement added as an appendix.
