Graduate Project 2:
Policies, Procedures and Practices
Identifying the Problem
Introduction
You will complete a research project that will inv
olve the writing of two security policy, procedure
and
practices. Your job is to create and document two t
echnical operations across two different areas of
technology. For instance, you may choose from netwo
rk, operating system, software development,
application, data storage or information security (
other areas with permission). You do not need to ha
ve
technical hands-on experience, just the ability to
review material and come up with a cohesive plan to
solve
the problem, based on the recommendation of others.
Once you have selected an area to research (ex. Da
ta Storage/Destruction)
Step 1: Identify the problem you need to solve (ex
. Data destruction policy)
–
Authorized by me in advance
Step 2: Call out what is in-scope of the problem a
llowing you to be specific (ex. Physical media only
)
Step 3: Articulate what needs to be done (ex. Rend
er the CD safe for general disposal)
Step 4: Write the procedure (ex. CD: Fill out form
DDR-101 with the user
’
s name, data on media and date
and time of submission for destruction. Run CD thro
ugh Sentry Shredder ADA387 via the CD slot, open
discharge drawer and verify that CD has been destro
yed, update DDR-101 with destroyer
’
s name and date
of destruction)
Step 5: Identify the method for validating that th
e policy is followed (ex. Review process of the DDR
-101
system, or procedure for handling CDs place in the
general trash)
You might also want to talk about removable drives
(thumb-drives and external drives which are harder
to
shred, but should be wiped before disposal.
I do not expect this to be a completely original w
ork. There are certainly many examples of not only
actual
procedures, but also templates that may help you al
ong the way. Please ensure that you give credit for
templates. It will not affect your grade if you use
someone else
’
s work as a base, but I expect you do
enhance and add value.
If you need guidance help understanding some of th
e technical pitfalls you are being asked to explore
,
please feel free to contact me. The length of the d
ocument is not as critical to me as the thought pro
cess
that goes into solving the problem identified. Plea
se get authorization from me before you start to en
sure
that your selection is acceptable.
Grading as follows:
•
10pts/each
–
for each of the key steps above for each of your t
wo PPP documents
•
TOTAL – 100pts
You must submit your project via the sakai assignm
ent tool with a filename as follows 448-LASTNAME.xx
x
(where LASTNAME is replaced with your last name and
the .xxx is replaced with a word processing file
extension).
