PCI Data Security Standards are established to protect payment account data throughout the payment lifecycle, and to protect individuals and entities from the criminals who attempt to steal sensitive data. The PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to all entities that store, process, and/or transmit cardholder data, including merchants, service providers, and financial institutions.

Purpose of this Assignment
You work as an Information Technology Consultant for the Greater Washington Risk Associates (GWRA) and have been asked to write a professional memo to one of your clients as a follow–up to their recent risk assessment (RA). GWRA specializes in enterprise risk management for state agencies and municipalities. The county of Anne Arundel, Maryland (the client) hired GWRA to conduct a risk assessment of Odenton, Maryland (a community within the Anne Arundel County), with a focus on business operations within the municipality.

This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcome to enable you to:

Visualization of Geographic and Time Series Data

Utilize the complete Strike Reports dataset as well as the list of Airports in United States of America dataset. Join the two datasets, the complete Strike Reports and the list of Airports in United States of America, to get each airport’s latitude and longitude. Create a new table that aggregates the data at the airport level.

Apply a custom metric in a visualization.
Create a custom metric by writing code to give each airport a score for bird strikes by aircraft at that airport.
Use this custom metric in a geographic visualization of bird strikes by airport.
Create visualizations appropriate to convey information about a variable from a geographic perspective.
Create a visualization that provides a geographic overview of which regions experience the most bird strikes.
Create visualizations appropriate to convey information about a variable from a time series perspective.
