CYB 260 Project One Milestone Guidelines and Rubric

Analysis of Privacy Laws and Business Implica�ons

Overview

In Project One, you will take a stakeholder role in a business that is facing a privacy issue. In that project, you will ar�culate a point of view that reflects your professional stance on privacy,

the laws and regula�ons relevant to the issue, and the business implica�ons of your recommenda�on. For this milestone, you will begin to inves�gate two of the key facets that will factor

into your posi�on: regula�ons and business implica�ons.

Scenario

Review the Project One Scenario and these suppor�ng documents:

Fit-vantage Company Profile, which contains the mission statement, core values, and a dra� of the Fit-vantage privacy statement

Fit-vantage Helios Financial Outlook

You should also review the HIPAA Privacy Rule Summary in this module’s resources.

Based on this informa�on, you will contrast requirements that come from internal policy with those governed by external legal regula�ons. Addi�onally, you will examine how ethics and

business goals influence the approach to privacy.

Prompt

To complete this assignment, use the Project One Milestone Template linked in the What to Submit sec�on. In the template, complete the requirements table for Sec�on I and answer the

short-response ques�ons for Sec�on II.

Specifically, you must address the following cri�cal elements:

I. Analysis of Requirements

The documenta�on included with the scenario contains a dra� version of the organiza�on’s privacy statement based on fair informa�on prac�ce principles. Complete the requirements

table in the template by selec�ng three of the principles addressed in the privacy statement. (Note that in Project One, you may elect to discuss addi�onal or alterna�ve principles and

privacy laws than those you select for this assignment.) For each selected principle, address the following elements:

A. Explain how at least one privacy law is associated with the principle.

B. Evaluate the level of compliance with the applicable privacy law or laws. Explain how the organiza�on’s approach to the principle meets, exceeds, or does not meet the

II. Business Implica�ons

The scenario includes background informa�on on the organiza�on and general market analysis related to the proposal. As you are an execu�ve-level employee, there is an expecta�on

that your advice to leadership will be guided by the company’s mission statement and values, the profitability and market success of its products, and your exper�se in your field. In

Project One, your recommenda�on will need to balance all of these factors; however, for this assignment, you will focus only on the business aspects.

A. Discuss the role of ethics as a business driver in this decision. How do the organiza�onal values (as an ethical stance) align with the decision? What responsibility does the

organiza�on have pertaining to privacy?

B. Discuss how your personal ethical stance aligns with the decision. How did you apply an ethical framework or decision strategy to inform your posi�on?

C. What would you recommend the company do? Describe how you came to this decision. How did you balance differences between the organiza�onal ethics and your own

personal ethics?
