Assessing Security Controls and Risk [due Mon]

Assignment Content

Based on the Assignment Scenario, determine the risk associated with the vulnerabilities. Use NIST SP 800-30 to calculate the risks for each vulnerability.

Part 1 Report Risk

Develop a 2- to -3-page Security Assessment Report (SAR) using the Wk 4 Assignment Template. The Security Assessment Report (SAR) should include the following for each vulnerability:

Vulnerability title

A precise vulnerability description

Likelihood

Impact

Overall risk level

Logical recommendations for mitigation

Part 2 Communicate the Risk to Leadership

Develop a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation documenting the risks for each vulnerability to be presented to the leadership of Health Coverage Associates.

The presentation should include:

An introduction slide

A description of each of the three vulnerabilities

An accurate illustration of the NIST SP-30 5x5 matrices

A description of the likelihood and impact, with a justification of that determination (e.g., very low, low, moderate, high, very high)

An illustration of the overall, high watermark level of risk (e.g., very low, low, moderate, high, very high)

A logical recommendation for mitigation actions, including an explanation of risk tolerance and risk acceptance for the organization

A conclusion slide
