Write a research-based report in which you summarize your research and discuss the similarities and differences between the two IT security policy documents. You
should focus upon clarity and conciseness more than length when determining
what content to include in your paper. At a minimum, your report must include
the following:
1. An
introduction or overview of IT Security
Policies for the executive branch of state governments (covering state
agencies and offices in the executive branch including the governor’s office).
Explain the purpose of an IT security policy and how states use security
policies. Answer the question: why should every state in the nation have a comprehensive
IT security policy for state agencies and offices? (Make sure that you address
the importance of such strategies to small, resource-poor states as well as to large
or wealthy states.)
2. A
separate section in which you provide and discuss five or more specific
examples of the common principles and policy sections/statements (similarities)
found in both IT security policy documents.
3.
A separate section in which you discuss the
unique aspects of the first state’s IT security policy document. Provide five
or more specific principles or guidelines or other content that is unique to
the policy document.
4.
A separate section in which you discuss the unique
aspects of the second state’s IT security policy document. Provide five or more
specific principles or guidelines or other content that is unique to the policy
document.
5. A
section in which you discuss your evaluation of which state government has the
better of the two IT security policy documents. You should also present five or
more best practice recommendations for improvements for both IT security policy
documents. (Note: you may have different recommendations for the individual
policies depending upon the characteristics of each document.)
1.
A summary section in which you address the need
for IT Security Policies at the state government level. Provide a convincing answer
to the question: why should every state in the nation have a comprehensive IT
security policy for state agencies and offices? Make sure that you address: (a)
leadership, (b) compliance with laws and regulations, and (c) best practices
for good government.
