Module 8 Portfolio Project: Prepare a well-written security policy proposal for your organization that utilizes the concepts learned in the course as a basis for your analysis and policy. Make sure that your proposal includes the basic elements of a good security policy including: Introduction describing your organization and describing its mission, products/services, technical resources, and technical strategy. Analysis of the organizations relationships to its clients/customers, staff, management, and owners or other stakeholders. A vulnerability assessment. Your recommendation, including: Proposed remedial measures (as appropriate to the situation; these might include firewall/gateway provisions, authentication and authorization, encryption systems, intrusion detection, virus detection, incident reporting, education/training, etc.). Proposed code of ethics or code of practice to be applied within the organization. Legal/compliance requirements and description of how they will be met. Proposed security policy statement/summary. Important: You must justify every element of your proposal in ethical and legal terms. In other words, you need to state why each policy/code element (including technical elements) is good for business and why it is good/sound ethical policy (how it is good for the organization and why it is good for customers, users, or employees, or the public). You should also identify any ethical/legal tensions, conflicts, and/or contradictions and justify any trade-offs being made in the recommendation. Discuss and cite at least three credible or scholarly sources other than the course textbooks (which can be cited as well) to support your analysis and policy choices. The CSU-Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a good place to find credible and scholarly sources. Your paper should be 8-10 pages in length with document and citation formatting per CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.). Recommendation: You should review Chapter 4 in the course textbook and apply the knowledge therein to planning and drafting the Portfolio Project.
