Project Part 6

Purpose

This assignment is intended to help you learn to do the following:

· Communicate the security program with an intended audience.

· Effectively manage a security program. [SPM 2]

· Assess the effectiveness of a security program. [SPM 3]

Overview

In this section, you’ll create communications for two different audiences: C-Suite (including the CEO) and end-users.

Executive Summary and Poster Requirements

1. Write an executive summary for your report for members of C-Suite, including the CEO. This is a high-level overview of the key aspects of your security program. It includes a summary of the first Plan, Protect, Detect, Response, and Adjust cycle. Concisely explain how this improved security. Your executive summary should be:

· Understandable to a non-technical audience. Remember that you are communicating to an audience that includes executive managers and well as technology experts.

· Concise, ideally a page or less. Many people will not read your entire document, instead relying on the executive summary to give them the key takeaways. It must be able to stand on its own as a coherent document.

· Relevant to the company’s business goals. Help your audience see how your plans relate to business outcomes and processes.

2. Create a security awareness poster that shows key take-aways for end users. Limit your information to one page of a document or slide that could be printed out and posted. If you create the poster as a slide, screen shot it and add it to your Word document.

Submit your work as an APA-formatted Word document.
