Module 1 - SLP

Information Security Management Frameworks

For this module, your task is to apply what you have learned about information security management frameworks to your own experiences or issues of interests. If the issue is a large-scale, complicated one, you can choose to provide an overview here and then keep discussing the same issue but with much more depth from the different perspectives in each SLP for this course. Or you can choose to discuss different issues in different modules.

Your own experiences or interests can come from your organizational work or from your personal life. If you don`t have any experiences on this topic (which I hardly think so) or you think your experiences are not so relevant, then find a public issue, interview people, or do some search on the Internet.

Please apply your preferred framework of information security management to discuss an information security issue in your organization or in your personal life. Some examples are access control, virus protection, virtual private networking, business continuity, disaster recovery, etc.

Please write a 2- to 3-page write-up titled:

Applying Information Security Management Framework(s) in __________ (the information security issue of your choice)

Your paper should:

1. Introduce the information security issue.

2. Choose multiple framework(s) that best apply to the information security and provide support for your discussion.

3. Produce a comparison of the different frameworks—a table would help with this.

Your assignment will be graded according to the MSITM SLP Grading Rubric, which aligns with the following expectations. (To see the rubric, go to Assessments>Rubrics. Click the arrow next to the rubric name and choose Preview.)
