Research Paper Assignment: Private Sector Case Study
This will be a basic research paper that further explores one of the case studies at the end of the Chapter 7. Select one and see what information is available in addition to what is in your textbook. What changes have happened since each of these incidents or studies?
During an internal review, American Imaging Management (AIM) decided it needed to improve its due diligence practices. AIM decided to expand its corporate security program. The company began by performing a risk assessment on its current security program.
The assessment used the ISO 27001 gap assessment methods. When complete, AIM delivered a recommended course of action. These activities were intended to address and remediate areas that were either under- or over-controlled.
Using the Plan-Do-Act-Check cycle from the ISO standards, AIM's activities included:
• Defining more detailed roles and responsibilities
• Identifying all relevant security requirements (legislative, regulatory, and contractual)
• Defining all supporting policies, standards, and procedures
• Defining and establishing a security awareness program
• Expanding the organization's vulnerability management program
• Collaborating with the business continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR) team to integrate security program objectives
• Improving the incident response program
• Implementing an internal security control audit program.
