Project: IT Security Policy Implementation Assignment Instructions

Overview

For this assignment, you will now implement an information assurance policy for a hypothetical company or existing organization of your choice. Review the templates via the SANS policy template site (included under the assignment) .

Be sure to use feedback from Project 1 (Security Policy Research Assignment) and review the Project Grading Rubric as a guide to provide a 5-page write-up presenting an information assurance policy. You must provide the company name as part of your title page and briefly explain the company within the overview.

Below are the mandatory Level One headers used in Project 1, that now should be applied to your company:

· Overview

· Purpose

· Scope

· Policy Compliance

· Related Standards – (example: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 Security and Privacy Controls)

· Terms and Definitions (in bulleted format)

When developing each component of the policy, consider how Biblical principles and values can be integrated to align the policy with a Christian worldview. For example, the Purpose section could reference stewardship of resources, integrity of data, and protecting privacy as mandates from Scripture. The Scope could emphasize that the policy applies to all employees as part of their responsibility before God. The Definitions could include terms like "information as a trust" or "digital integrity" to convey a Biblical perspective.

INSTRUCTIONS

Support your paper with at least 5 recent peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last five years. At least one of the resources should focus on integrating faith and technology/cybersecurity. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Length: Five pages of content, not including title page(s) and reference pages.

All components must be included in addition to a clear introduction and conclusion. The introductory paragraph is needed to briefly explain the company chosen and the purpose of the IT Security Policy. A conclusion is required to summarize the policy and the requirements discussed.

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic from a Biblical perspective. Ensure that Biblical principles and a Christian worldview are explicitly integrated throughout the policy, with supporting scripture references.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
