Legal and Ethical Recommendations Brief

Overview

Protecting data security and data privacy are key aspects of the cybersecurity domain. Practitioners must account for several competing drivers to address the concerns of data security and

privacy, including:

Regulatory compliance

Operational impact

Cost

Customer and employee satisfaction.

As a practitioner, you must identify requirements and recommend approaches related to technology, policy, and workforce. Your recommendations should ensure that appropriate measures

are in place to adequately secure data and protect individual privacy in a constantly changing threat environment. In this project, you will recommend an approach to address the legal and

ethical aspects of a security-relevant business decision.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course competency:

Make recommendations regarding legal and ethical issues in cybersecurity appropriate for the organizational environment

Scenario

Use the Project Two Scenario to complete this assignment. This scenario places you back in the role of an executive-level security consultant for the organization. The scenario provides

additional details about the organization’s decisions on the proposal you addressed in Project One. In addition to the scenario, review the Fit-vantage Company Profile and the HIPAA rule

summaries provided in this module’s resources.

To complete this assignment, you will prepare a legal and ethical recommendation brief for the internal stakeholder board that identifies an approach to meeting the privacy protection, data

security, and ethical needs of the scenario.

Prompt

Write a brief memorandum to the internal leadership board outlining your recommendations for meeting the needs of the scenario. Specifically, you must address the following critical

elements:
