Phase 1: Memo

"I HAVE ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON THIS MEMO BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME TO FINISH IT.  I COMPLETED THE INTRODUCTION AND OUTLINE.  PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED WORD DOCUMENT AND JUST COMPLETE THE MEMO I HAVE ALREADY STARTED WITH THE OUTLINE PROVIDED"

On your first day as an Information Systems Security director, you met with the Chief Information Officer. During the meeting, he revealed to you his deep concerns about the Infrastructure Protection Plan. He asked you to read the Department of Homeland Security. (2009). National Infrastructure Protection Plan. Retrieved from http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/NIPP_Plan.pdf carefully and focus more on chapter 6: Ensuring an Effective, Efficient Program Over the Long Term.

Since he realizes that you are new to this position he asked you to deliver the final plan, memo and budget in 7 weeks (week 8) but he setup 3 checkpoints for you to deliver parts of the plan to ensure consistent progress of the deliverables before the big presentation in week 8.

Phase 1: Memo 

In this phase, you need to create 3-5 page professional memo about your assessment of what needs to be done to meet the standards based on the National Infrastructure Protection Plan. You need to make sure that the language in the memo is clear of free of errors. You also need to be creative in presenting this information to capture the most important points from the National Infrastructure Protection Plan. You need to demonstrate critical thinking to prioritize the action items based on your findings.
