IT 3358: Unit 1 Assignment Project Scope

For this assignment, you will develop an initial scope
document and proposal for deploying an Enterprise Security Infrastructure
Project. This is done by gathering facts about the selected organization and
identifying project needs.

First, select a global IT organization with which you are
currently affiliated, have worked for in the past, or one you would like to
learn more about. This organization should be relevant to your professional
goals and sufficient information about this organization should be available
through experience or research. You will use this same organization as a
foundation for all of your project assignments in this course.

Once you have selected your organization, you will evaluate
the existing security infrastructure and suggest improvements appropriate to
improving the cost and efficiency of managing the security. If assumptions need
to be made as part of your project, please list those assumptions so that your
instructor is aware.

For this assignment, use the suggested resources, the
Capella library, and the Internet to research the subject matter.

Instructions

Now that you have an understanding of the project and the
company’s needs, include the following in the initial scope document and
proposal:

Describe the scope of your project by providing an overview
to the selected organization: the reasons for your choice, its size, and the
location of the organization.

Describe the main business problems and goals as they relate
to information technology. Include information relative to organizational user,
organizational systems, and the security requirements.

Describe decision makers and stakeholders on whom you would rely
to develop a requirements analysis and traverse through the information
gathering phases of a security infrastructure deployment project.

Define a project timeline and outline that coincides with
the system and/or infrastructure component life cycle stages. Additionally,
identify the security components, requirements, and concerns that will need to
be addressed.

Explain the role of Availability, Confidentiality,
Authentication, and Integrity in identifying the project scope for the
organization.

Given the global nature of the organization, identify any
unique challenges that you anticipate facing from a regulatory, human
resources, and cultural standpoint.

You are encouraged to provide resources and citations. Any
references should be formatted according to APA (6th Edition) style and
formatting.
