Principles of Data Ethics

Module 6 Discussion – Ethics:

Focus this topic“Why codes related to the ethical management of information are necessary”

Demonstrate a sound understanding of the key issues, express and illustrate your opinions in a clear and coherent manner and communicate both of these aspects effectively.

Begin with an introduction to the topic and contain relevant examples to help illustrate points.

Drawing on the readings, lecture and your own personal experiences, articulate, explain, and organize the reasons for ethical decision-making and policy positions within an organizational context by addressing one of the following topics, or an ethics topic related to Informatics of your own choosing:

Why codes related to the ethical management of information are necessary.

How emerging technologies including cloud computing and big data pose new challenges.

1. From Chapter 6 of The Fifth Domain, what are the seven activities that the federal government might take in response to a significant cyber incident impacting CI. What is your perspective of the political, technical and operational challenges of the government taking this approach?

2. Outline the specifics of Clarke’s “Five Not-So-Easy Pieces” concept to protect CI. Include an assessment of each of the five pieces, and your perspective of the effectiveness, flaws, challenges, and potential success of implementing a cybersecurity policy that adheres to his concept.

3. Discuss the seven “elements” impacting Cybersecurity infrastructure, then identify explain the three elements you believe that should be in the top-tier from a priority perspective (impact on the nation, cost, etc.), and outline how (use specific real world and theoretical examples) those factors could impact the American people (government, individuals, companies, organizations).

4. Outline the Department of Defense’s (DOD) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsibilities for Cybersecurity, their respective roles and relationships to fight (defense and offense) in the cyber realm, the challenges each faces in successfully achieving their responsibilities; and, provide your perspective of what actions you believe should be taken to improve the capabilities of these two departments to enable them to meet their mission objectives.

Healthcare Security 2-2

Discussion Question (25 points)

A security gap has been found in your hospital environment. After an impact assessment, you’ve concluded that the probability that the risk will occur is very high, and the impact could result in a financial loss of $50,000–$100,000 depending on how much data is compromised as a result of the gap. The cheapest solution that will fix the issue costs $250,000.

Based on ISO’s six options for addressing risk (Avoid, Accept, Retain, Remove, Change, and Share), what actions you recommend? Discuss why you recommend each action.

 

Develop a risk management plan in which you describe at least three possible risk management efforts that could be used to assess threats and unknown issues. Determine why defining priorities is an important part of the process when enumerating and having efficient risk control measures.

Organization chart

Imagine that you have been recently promoted to serve as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for a Fortune 500 organization. This organization has known brand products across the world and expects top-secret methods for safeguarding proprietary information on its recipes and product lines.

The Board of Directors requests that their information security strategy be upgraded to allow greater opportunities for secure cloud collaboration between suppliers and resellers of their products. Another concern they have is the recent number of hacktivist attacks that have caused the network to fail across the enterprise. Their concern extends to making sure that they have controlled methods for accessing secured physical areas within their various regional facilities.

For your new position, you will be responsible for developing standards, methods, roles, and recommendations that will set the new IT security path for the organization. The existing organization has limited experience in supporting an enhanced level of IT security; therefore, you may need to outsource certain security services.

Create an organization chart (use Visio or Dia) which illustrates the roles that will be required to ensure the design, evaluation, implementation, and management of security programs for the organization.
Within your organizational chart, clearly identify the reporting structure for roles such as IT Security Compliance Officer, Security Manager, CIO, CISO, IT Security Engineer, Privacy Security Professional, and IT Procurement Specialist.
List the types of resources required to fulfill each forensic duty of the organization below each of the roles you identified.
Align your organization chart to reflect the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Essential Body of Knowledge’s three areas of information security: physical security professional, privacy professional, and procurement professional.
Provide comments and comparisons on how your organizational chart fosters these three values.

Request for Proposal (RFP) plan
Develop a Request for Proposal (RFP) plan to solicit qualified vendors that could partner with your internal team to deliver optimum IT service delivery.
The RFP Plan should contain qualifying criteria of potential vendors and the responsibilities of the vendor once the contract is awarded.

As part of the plan, you must:
Describe at least two perspectives that need to be closely monitored within the contract.
Give your perspective on at least two methods that could be used to evaluate and develop a qualified trusted supplier list.

Physical Security Plan

Recommend a physical security plan that could be used to protect sensitive areas such as telecom rooms, employee-only areas, and manufacturing facilities in which you include at least three specific methods.

Enterprise Information Security Compliance Program

Establish an enterprise information security compliance program that addresses the concerns of the board of directors of the organization in which you describe specific plans and control objectives that could be adopted to address the known issues.
Suggest at least three information security policies that could be developed and practiced within the organization for data security assurance.
Outline the steps you would take to define the security needs of the organization in terms of duties, staffing, training, and processes.

Risk Management Plan

Develop a risk management plan in which you describe at least three possible risk management efforts that could be used to assess threats and unknown issues.
Determine why defining priorities is an important part of the process when enumerating and having efficient risk control measures.
Suggest specific technical and management controls that could be enacted in order to monitor risks accurately.

Implementation Proposal

Submit the Implementation Proposal to the School Board. Assuming that you obtained board approval to move forward with this project, you will next create a structure and implementation proposal that details the steps to complete the implementation from start to finish. Remember: you are providing an implementation strategy for IT staff that outlines the structure and steps for successful implementation.

When you make assumptions based on the context and scenario, be sure to identify them and explain your reasoning. As a professional, you will want to provide support for your assumptions and conclusions to ensure your projects maintain validity.
