Case scenario : You are the new System Support Technician at Premier Collegiate School. This private school has students from grade 7 to grade 12 with 300 students, and 30 staff members and teachers. Each of the ten administrative staff has a dedicated desktop computer. The school principal, Ashton Symonds, has a notebook computer which she takes home and when traveling to conduct both school business, and personal tasks. She maintains a Facebook and MySpace account to be able to monitor the activities of the students who also have such accounts.
The teachers have ten computers that they share in the teachers' lounge to record grades and do all work associated with conducting their assigned classes (daily lesson plans, research, handouts, tests, quizzes, and final exams). There are two servers functioning in the school, one for the administration business, and one to serve student needs. The administration server has dedicated storage for each of the teachers and both hard wired access and wireless access throughout the school. The student server has applications the students might need for their schoolwork. In addition, the student server provides wireless access for student-owned and school-required laptop computers. All students are required to have laptop computers with wireless access. There is also one dedicated computer lab with twenty-five desktop computers for the students to use in computer science classes.
Principal Symonds has requested that you prepare an asset list and prioritize the assets based on their importance to the function of the school and the level of protection required for each asset.
Written Assignment : Executive Summary on Risk Analysis
Assignment Requirements
Refer to the case scenario that was provided to you in this unit's lab. By now, you will have created the comprehensive asset list in order of importance of each asset. For this assignment, you need to create an executive summary that explains your list. This executive summary will be presented to the School's Board of Directors.
Much of the information you have analyzed will be technical in nature. First, without creating a full executive summary of the operation, summarize your findings in a simple bullet-point list. Then, assign a quantitative value to each asset by examining its numerical, measurable characteristics such as original cost, cost of replacement, loss of teaching skills or created information, school image and reputation.
This will allow you to organize your priorities, and be able to use that information to prepare a full executive summary for presentation to the School's Board of Directors.
Paper must be at least 500 words but the main objectives shown above must be indicated in the paper. APA style with references and citation.
