Deliverables

As discussed in this course, risk management is an important process for all organizations. This is particularly true in information systems, which provides critical support for organizational missions. The heart of risk management is a formal risk management plan. The project activities described in this document allow you to fulfill the role of an employee participating in the risk management process in a specific business situation.

The project is structured as follows:

Scenario

You are an information technology (IT) intern working for Health Network, Inc. (Health Network), a fictitious health services organization headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Health Network has over 600 employees throughout the organization and generates $500 million USD in annual revenue. The company has two additional locations in Portland, Oregon and Arlington, Virginia, which support a mix of corporate operations. Each corporate facility is located near a co-location data center, where production systems are located and managed by third-party data center hosting vendors.

Company Products

Health Network has three main products: HNetExchange, HNetPay, and HNetConnect.

HNetExchange is the primary source of revenue for the company. The service handles secure electronic medical messages that originate from its customers, such as large hospitals, which are then routed to receiving customers such as clinics.

HNetPay is a Web portal used by many of the company’s HNetExchange customers to support the management of secure payments and billing. The HNetPay Web portal, hosted at Health Network production sites, accepts various forms of payments and interacts with credit-card processing organizations much like a Web commerce shopping cart.

HNetConnect is an online directory that lists doctors, clinics, and other medical facilities to allow Health Network customers to find the right type of care at the right locations. It contains doctors’ personal information, work addresses, medical certifications, and types of services that the doctors and clinics offer. Doctors are given credentials and are able to update the information in their profile. Health Network customers, which are the hospitals and clinics, connect to all three of the company’s products using HTTPS connections. Doctors and potential patients are able to make payments and update their profiles using Internet-accessible HTTPS Web sites.

NOTE:Any discussion of products not a part of this scenario, such as health insurance products, will result in an automatic 50% reduction in points. Your paperis not a research paper on risk management – it is a risk management plan to a very specific situation and must relate to the scenario, above.

Information Technology Infrastructure Overview

Health Network operates in three production data centers that provide high availability across the company’s products. The data centers host about 1,000 production servers, and Health Network maintains 650 corporate laptops and company-issued mobile devices for its employees.

Threats Identified

Upon review of the current risk management plan, the following threats were identified:

• Loss of company data due to hardware being removed from production systems
• Loss of company information on lost or stolen company-owned assets, such as mobile devices and laptops
• Loss of customers due to production outages caused by various events, such as natural disasters, change management, unstable software, and so on
• Internet threats due to company products being accessible on the Internet
• Insider threats
• Changes in regulatory landscape that may impact operations

Management Request

Senior management at Health Network has determined that the existing risk management plan for the organization is out of date and a new risk management plan must be developed. Because of the importance of risk management to the organization, senior management is committed to and supportive of the project to develop a new plan. You have been assigned to develop this new plan.

Additional threats other than those described previously may be discovered when re-evaluating the current threat landscape during the risk assessment phase.

The budget for this project has not been defined due to senior management’s desire to react to any and all material risks that are identified within the new plan. Given the company’s annual revenue, reasonable expectations can be determined.

Project Part 1

Project Part 1 Task 1: Risk Management Plan

For the first part of the assigned project, you must create an initial draft of the final risk management plan. To do so, you must:

You Risk Management Plan will contain the following sections:

• A section titled Introduction discussing the purpose of the plan. You must include details from the scenario, above, describing the environment.10 points.
• A section titled Scope discussing the scope of the plan. 10 points
• A section, titled Compliance Laws and Regulations.Using the information in the scenario provided above, discuss regulations and laws with which Health Network must comply. 30 points
• A section, titled Roles and Responsibilities, that will discuss the different individuals and departments who will be responsible for risk management within the organization (this was presented in your textbook). 20 points
• A section, titled Risk Mitigation Plan, that discusses the threats identified in the scenario and your proposed mitigations, as well as any new threats.30 points.

Write an initial draft of the risk management plan as detailed in the instructions above. Your plan should be made using a standard word processor format compatible with Microsoft Word.

Evaluation Criteria and Rubrics

• Did the student demonstrate an understanding of the competencies covered in the course thus far?
• Did the student include all important components of a risk management plan in the outline?
• Did the student demonstrate good research, reasoning, and decision-making skills in identifying key components and compliance laws and regulations?
• Did the student create a professional, well-developed draft with proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation?

The Marketing team has decided to create a special workout application that will allow users to download an application on their wearable watch.The wearable watch will ask the user to enter their information through the Internet to collect:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number (which will be linked to the Wearable watch)
• Age
• Height
• Body weight
• Goals for working out (eg. total steps walked, total miles run)

The information from the Wearable watch will be uploaded to the Internet to the application every 30 seconds to ensure the watch and the Internet application are constantly in sync.

How would you ensure Information Security and Compliance are built into the integrated systems?

Use the Issue Analysis and Remediation Evaluation spreadsheet (IARE) also labeled “Time Motion” to determine potential cost associated with risk.

for this assignment follow the instructions for the activity.

Communication Exercise

This exercise was taught in a communications workshop with John Day who uses it to teach what effective communication is all about in his leadership workshops. His application focuses on a large group setting, here we will describe it in a smaller setting where just you and your client can participate.

Supplies:

Roll of blue painters tape

Yardstick

1 – 2 dozen mousetraps (the old fashioned wooden and metal spring type)

Blindfold

Requirements:

This works only for people who are able to walk and have no fear of being blindfolded. All participants MUST wear shoes!

Set up:

For this activity you will need a large clutter-free area, a wide hallway would work if it is just two people participating in the activity. Any more than that, you will need to find a larger space of about 16 x 16 or bigger.

Take the painters tape and apply it to the floor in a very long strip about 12 feet long. Using the yardstick, measure 3 feet away from the first strip of tape, and place a parallel strip of tape exactly 3 feet away for the length of 12 feet. When you are done you will have outlined a pathway that is three feet wide.

Now, set all of the mousetraps. Be careful, they are pretty sensitive! As you set each trap, place the traps in a random way throughout the entire outline pathway. The more traps the better. The more random the placement the better. The idea is to put the traps directly INSIDE the pathway.

Once all the traps are set in place, you will place the blindfold over your client’s eyes and position him or her at the “entrance” to the mousetrap-strewn pathway.

The Activity:

The first time through this activity, give very little instruction as to how to do this activity successfully. When teaching this activity to others, tell them, “You and your partner have to communicate where the traps are, where and how to step around them without setting any of them off.”

Never tell them at the outset how to communicate. People learn so much better when they become frustrated with their partner either for not giving the proper instruction, or when the blindfolded partner doesn’t understand.

Using only your words, you need to instruct your client how and where to step so that they are able to navigate the pathway without setting off any of the traps.

This sounds a whole lot easier than it really is to do in person! People have participated in this activity many times and each time they do, they learn so much more about communication.

You are welcome to change any parameters of this activity in any way you wish, provided that you are encouraging your client to understand why communication is so important, and the various components of communication.

PART A “The Moral and Legal Status of Abortion”

Please respond to the following: 1. Discuss Mary Anne Warren’s distinction between being human and being a person. Do you agree that being a person is a necessary condition for having a right to life? Provide reasons and examples to support your view. 2.Take a position on the statement: “Abortion is morally wrong.” Provide reasons and examples to support your view.

PLEASE RESPOND TO CLASSMATE DISCUSSION WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT & A DETAILED WHY: Warren’s distinction between human and being a person is basically a fetus has the genetics and DNA of a human but is not a person because it has not been born, cannot communicate, does not have the capacity to have emotional feelings, cannot perform as a person; therefore, cannot be labeled as a person. I agree to a certain extent that a person is a necessary condition for having a right to life. An example is this would be a fetus at an early stage where it is just an embryo has no feelings; therefore, can be aborted without conditions. However, once the embryo has developed and surpassed the first few weeks where it is clearly a fetus I would say it has the same rights as a person. By week 11 of your pregnancy, the embryo has developed into a fetus and continues to develop, grow, and have feelings.

Abortion is morally wrong in my opinion. I believe there are far too many options available for women to choose where they want their child to be if they do not want to keep it. Unless the mother is in danger of losing her own life, I do not think abortion is the answer. I believe all life has the right to choose to live and all life begins at conception. It may not be convenient for the mother to bring this child into the world but there are other options beside abortion available to her.

PART b “Social Action and Fairness” Please respond to the following:
Debate It. Take a position for or against Singer’s claim that each person has a serious moral obligation to do something about world hunger. Provide reasons and examples to support your view.

Evaluate Fullinwider’s claim that a company’s record of discrimination will keep reproducing itself in spite of its good intentions not to discriminate. Provide reasons and examples to support your view.

PLEASE RESPOND TO CLASSMATE DISCUSSION WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT & A DETAILED WHY: Singers claims that everyone has an serious moral obligation to do something about world hunger while that may seem accurate no one should be considered to be morally judged whether they chose to support or not support the world hunger. If the world had a issue with hunger as big as it is talked about then why have these countries not tried to get the type of support that is necessary instead of letting worldwide hunger be an issue. There are many billionaires present in the world today although the world is hungry in other countries and to me that country should be responsible for making sure those that are hungry get fed because if they are not eating and people in this world are this rich and not helping there is no way you can tell me a minimum wage individual should be spending the money that they don’t have to support someone on another country when there are people in their family who need help. People cannot even hardly help themselves and then people have the audacity to tell people that it is morally wrong if they do not do something about world hunger. This world and country are focused on the wrong goals and it will forever be this way until someone makes a visible change.
