CSCI315 Project Guidelines – Project Use the following scenario to complete the indicated tasks. Scenario: • Over the last 14 weeks of the course, you have acted as an information security consultant for VPP. In this capacity, you have developed various components of an information security plan for a client. • You have completed your VPP assignment and have now moved to your second assignment, Foothills College of the Upstate (FCU). • FCU is a new college and seeks to develop a robust information security plan (ISP), but it does not have the internal expertise to do so by itself. Hence, FCU has hired your employer, USCU-IT. You successfully helped VPP and therefore have been assigned as the head of the FCU effort. • FCU envisions itself as an online college. All courses and degree programs will be delivered online. All administrative and academic functions will be accomplished by a cadre of full time administrators and faculty. • FCU is continuing to hire key personnel, but a cadre of key administrators are already in place. • All administrative functions, student records, registration, and course delivery will be accomplished via the Internet. • Over the last 14 weeks, you have met multiple times with the key members of the FCU formulation committee. You have gained a good understanding of the proposed operations of the college. You are now preparing a proposed information security plan for the college. FCU Information Security Plan (ISP) Requirements: • The ISP must be in Word docx format. • The ISP file must be named FCUISP.docx. • There is not a minimum or maximum length to the document, but the primary criteria is that each topic must be thoroughly discussed. Short one or two sentences will not be sufficient. • The ISP should be double-spaced and use the Times New Roman, 12-point font. • The ISP should be formatted to make the document visually appealing. • The ISP should contain a client perspective. Do not discuss topics in the abstract, but always tie each topic back to FCU. The main emphasis is how an ISP will affect FCU. • Merely duplicating your answers to previous weekly requirements will not be acceptable. Students should build on what they have previously learned and should demonstrate what they have learned in the course. • Students that do not demonstrate a good understanding of an ISP and how to manage information security will receive unsatisfactory scores. As the final project will significantly impact the final course outcome, students are encouraged to make their best effort. • The ISP must contain the following sections. Each section should be thoroughly discussed. Each section should be headed with the section names as indicated below and using the Bold style. o Sections: o Executive Summary: ? Recap the important parts of the ISP. ? An executive summary is normally no more than two pages. ? An executive summary is not an introduction. ?
