LO2: Understand the importance of securing the information of an organisation. LO3: Recognise the security issues associated with the integration of various information systems within an enterprise. LO4: Understand the principles of computer security. LO5: Analyse security risks and prepare information and computer security plans. LO6: Prepare and present consultant's reports on aspects of computer security. LO7: Critically analyse publications in the area of computer security. The assessments in this topic follow on from one another (formative) across the three assessments. This means that you will to use the preceding assessment to complete the following one. For instance, you will need the outcome from Assessment 1 to be able to complete Assessment 2, and the outcome from Assessment 2 to complete Assessment 3. Case Study: Megacorp, a subsidiary of Generico Inc., have hired you to undertake a full risk assessment of their current security posture as they prepare to move to operating on a multinational scale. Megacorp currently processes and stores financial and client data in-house, with cloud services for operational usage and productivity. Staff work on Windows desktops, with an ad hoc patching cycle. There is also a backup system for the legacy in-house Windows servers, although the details of how this is configured is 2 COMP9721 Assessment 2, S1-2018 unknown as the System Administrator responsible for this process has recently left the company and did not leave any documentation on this. Megacorp use an old storage room as their server room, as the legacy software sometimes requires easy physical access to the servers running them for maintenance.

Task: Based upon your risk assessment and risk register from Assessment 1, you must now develop contingency plans to complement the risk assessment. This assessment is designed to demonstrate your ability to assess the potential impact of security incidents on a business and to develop suitable contingency plans for managing the risks to the business. The contingency planning document, based upon your risk assessment and risk register from Assessment 1 should include: - Impact Analysis of major threats - Continuity Planning Measures, with respect to operations at the three organisational levels: o Strategic o Tactical o Operational Remember that this second assessment forms the basis for the Assessment 3 and therefore should be as complete as possible. Report Requirements: Must Contain Cover/Title Page This must contain the topic code and title, assignment title, your name and student identification, due date. Table of Contents This must accurately reflect the content of your report and must be generated automatically in Microsoft Word with page numbers. Introduction A brief outline of what the document includes, how it is structured, and how you approached the contingency plan development. Main content – Impact analysis and broad contingency plan areas You should structure this under appropriate headings.

Your references should comprise of books, journal articles, and conference papers. http://www.flinders.edu.au/slc_files/Documents/Blue%20Guides/APA%20Referencing%20%282017%29.pdf http://www.flinders.edu.au/slc_files/Documents/Blue%20Guides/APA%20Referencing%20%282017%29.pdf 3 COMP9721 Assessment 2, S1-2018 Format This report should be no more than 2,000 words (excluding cover page, references and diagrams) and labelled as .docx and should be in a single file. Your assignments must be word-processed and the diagrams be developed using graphics software (most word-processors provide this facility). The text must be no smaller than 12pt and font Times New Roman Marking Rubric: 30% Total = 30 marks Assessment criteria Maximum marks for this element Student mark Impact Analysis Impacts follow risk assessment and asset(s) 3 Impacts are realistic in scope 5 Impacts focus upon business impact(s) 5 Continuity Planning BIA follows the risk analysis 5 Plans are realistic in protection vs. asset value 5 Justifications for protections are realistic 2 RTO & RPO are realistic achievable 3 Report Layout & Readability 0.5 Language Usage 0.5 Content Covered 0.5 Referencing 0.5 Total mark 30 (Maximum) Late submission: As stated in the official Statement of Assessments Methods (S1-2018) for this topic, an assessment submitted after the fixed or extended time for submission shall incur a penalty to be calculated as 5% of the total mark for the assessment for each day, (or part thereof) up to 5 business days (Monday-Friday) it is late.

Academic misconduct, which includes but is not limited to, plagiarism; unauthorised collaboration; cheating in examinations; theft of other students’ work; collusion; inadequate and incorrect referencing; will be dealt with in accordance with the Flinders Policy on Academic Integrity Policy. http://www.flinders.edu.au/academicintegrity/ http://www.flinders.edu.au/academicintegrity/student.cfm Turnitin: Turnitin is expected to be used for all assignments across the University. More information and links to Turnitin can be found on FLO. It is recommended that you submit a draft of your work via the Turnitin draft mechanism, to check it for errors in advance. Leave sufficient time for this process, which can be up to 24 hours. Extensions: If you require an extension for submission, you may request one, on an individual basis through the automated extension request tool located on FLO. This is in the ‘General’ section on the FLO topic page. http://www.flinders.edu.au/academicintegrity/ http://www.flinders.edu.au/academicintegrity/student.cfm As an idea of what should be considered a baseline, you can consider the following table for vulnerabilities/assets/weightings. Things that should not happen: · You hand me back this exact table. If this happens, you are committing plagiarism, and will be subject to the university academic misconduct policy. · You fail to expand the table below as basis, if you just do your planning based upon only this table, you will fail the assignment. · This table is not perfect and has issues. Apply some critical analysis, and see how you would improve it. As always, any questions, 1-2-1 on FLO or book an appointment with me to go over it.
