This assignment requires you to apply the principles of strategic risk mitigation and the principles of least privilege access to a real-world business scenario.

Please DOWNLOAD The Consulting Case Worksheet, and adopt the role of a junior IT consultant hired by a small marketing firm. Employees use personal cloud accounts (Dropbox, Google Drive) to share sensitive files. Your manager wants a report outlining risks and a secure solution.

Part 1: Risk Analysis (25 point)

Task: Identify three specific risks of using personal cloud accounts. Hint: Think about unauthorized access, data loss, compliance issues, etc.

Part 2: Proposed Solution (50 point)

Task 1: Recommend a professional-grade solution (e.g., Google Workspace, Microsoft 365). Why is this better than personal accounts?

Part 3: The Human Element (25 point)

Task: Write a short paragraph explaining to employees why the new system matters for their reputation and client trust.
