Grade: 5%
Objective:
Prepare a list of security concerns from project management perspective to operate an online grocery shopping site.
Background:
· The grocery company has an online shopping site that runs 24/7/365.
· It has 2 datacenters (one primary, one backup in idle) located in two different time zone. They are in the middle of moving to Azure cloud. The migration is handled by a 3rd
party consulting firm. Target completion is end of Q3.
· The shopping site has two user interfaces - web and mobile app. At this time only Android OS is supported. There is a plan to support iOS after cloud migration.
· The site requires a user to register/login to place order. Personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive financial transaction such as credit card information will be stored.
· Statistics shows average of 2000 unique users have accessed the site daily. However, during peak season such as Thanksgiving the volume will increase by 10x.
Submission requirements:
· Create a ONE page executive summary outlining your identified security concerns. Point form is allowed.
Tips from your professor:
· This is an executive summary for senior leadership to make decision. They are extremely busy as always and never have time to read page 2+.
· Be concise.
· Double check spelling and grammar.
· Lastly, make sure your FULL NAME is at the top of page.
