Assignment 1. Disaster Recovery Plan

There are threats all around us, so it is essential to have a robust plan in place to help mitigate the damage to a business from these threats.

1. Select any one of the threats that have been covered in the Business Continuity chapter of the text and develop a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP).

2. The plan, at a minimum, should include a summary of the threat, a risk assessment, and a mitigation strategy (to include goals, actions, and implementation plans). You will need to identify specific design principles that could be violated, as well as appropriate operational plans to be taken

3. Include how you will restore the IT resource, incident response procedures, and contingencies (to include techniques by which to test the disaster recovery plan's effectiveness). You will need to identify security monitoring tools and techniques, fundamental security concepts, and appropriate management methodologies.

4. Make sure to consider any internal and external regulatory and legal compliance requirements. You will need to identify how the fundamental elements of governing framework can provide system security, as well as be able to differentiate between legal, regulatory, and framework compliance.

Assignment 2. Security Awareness

It has been proven that employees can be a huge asset for an organization's cybersecurity. If employees are provided with proper security awareness training, they can act as another line of defense for an organization. Therefore, creating a culture of security awareness within a business is highly beneficial.

Research several employee security awareness training plans, tools, and techniques. Outline the ten most important security awareness topics that should be presented to employees. For each, provide a unique way in which an organization can address each topic in the workplace (this can include email communications, posters, webinars, etc.)

1. How can leadership promote diversity, effectiveness, and responsiveness in addressing security awareness?

2. How can teamwork support security awareness and ensure everyone is aware of their role in keeping the company secure?

3. One of the purposes of security awareness training is to reduce the risk of a data breach. There are two major risk factors: people and devices. Some people have to be granted access to regulated or sensitive information; you cannot simply disallow all access to the data. But sometimes their deliberate actions can lead to a data breach of valuable company data. Discuss how to value human dignity while enforcing security regulations from a Christian worldview.
