Cyber security program and policy development
Scenario developments
Since your preliminary report was delivered and you have become more comfortable in the CISO chair, the Norman Joe organisation has experienced great success and extraordinary growth due to an increased demand in e-commerce and online shopping in COVID-19. The company is even considering acquiring a specialised "research and development" (R&D) group specialising in e- commerce software development. The entity is a small but very successful software start-up.
However, it is infamous for its very "flexible" work practices and you have some concerns about its security. As such, in anticipation of your employer's acquisition of this new business you wish to ensure the company's cyber risk management program and security policy library is sufficient.
Requirements:
1. Carefully read the Case Study scenario document. You may use information provided in the case study but do not simply just copy and paste information. This will result in poor grades. Well researched and high-quality external content will be necessary for you to succeed in this assignment.
2. Align all Assignment 2 documents to those in Assignment 1 as the next stage of a comprehensive Cyber Security program.
Tasks:
1. Identify, select and devise the top 5 security policies that are essential for Norman Joe's. Hint: You may refer to security policies from the external sources such as the SANS policy library. However, you are required to draft these policies on your own, i.e., to be written in your own words.
2. Risk Management Framework
a. Outline what is meant by Risk Assessment, Risk Appetite and Risk Treatment.
i. Use this information when developing a Risk Management Framework for Norman Joe. Be sure to include:
1. Risk Treatment Cycle
2. Cost Benefit analysis
3. Establishing feasibility - (all that are appropriate)
b. What Risk Management Framework would be most appropriate for Norman Joe moving forward? Considering what you now know about the direction of Norman Joe, explain your decision based on the requirements that you believe Norman Joe would need to address.
3. Update the company's Risk Management Plan. You must address:
a. Based on the information given for Norman Joe and based on the preliminary threat modelling exercise in Assignment 1, develop an appropriate access control policy for this company. What types of access controls do you recommend protecting the assets of the company? Justify your choices. You should have physical and logical access controls, which do not let unauthorized access to the assets (assets include information, software, and hardware).
b. Determine and recommend data security solutions for three different data states in the company: data in use, data in motion, and data at rest.
c. What authentication method do you recommend for Norman Joe for effective and efficient management of user identify verification, especially for remote users.
d. Explain how a single sign-on service (SSO) can help Norman Joe to manage authentication. Which protocol will be used to implement this SSO service and why? Explain the protocol.
e. Describe six phases of developing an incident response plan. For this question, you should explain each phase and propose at least two activities for each phase in Norman Joe. In addition to analysing the case study materials carefully, you will need to do conduct independent research to answer this question.
