Performance Level Ratings
| Meets Expectations | Performance consistently met expectations in all essential areas of the assignment criteria, at times possibly exceeding expectations, and the quality of work overall was very good. The most critical goals were met. |
| Near Expectations | Performance did not consistently meet expectations. Performance failed to meet expectations in one or more essential areas of the assignment criteria, one or more of the most critical goals were not met. |
| Below Expectations | Performance was consistently below expectations in most essential areas of the assignment criteria, reasonable progress toward critical goals was not made. Significant improvement is needed in one or more important areas. |
| Criteria | Below Expectations | Near Expectations | Meets Expectations | Earned |
| The student accurately creates an overall security architecture structure diagram with comprehensive descriptions of the architecture components making sure to: | ||||
| Identify all types of data and sensitive data the organization will store. | 0 pts – 2 pts | 3 pts – 4 pts | 5 pts | |
| Define where that information is stored. | 0 pts – 2 pts | 3 pts – 4 pts | 5 pts | |
| Record of all hardware and software devices in the network. | 0 pts – 2 pts | 3 pts – 4 pts | 5 pts | |
| Describe how the security controls are positioned and how they relate to the overall systems architecture. | 0 pts – 2 pts | 3 pts – 4 pts | 5 pts | |
| Define security attacks, mechanisms, and services, and the relationships between these categories. | 0 pts – 6 pts | 7 pts – 9 pts | 10 pts | |
