Assignment Description: Final Project – Develop Security Management Plan and Risk Management Plan

Develop a 15-20 page Security Management and Risk Management Plan about an organization of your choosing. Your report should be double-spaced and the page length requirement is exclusive of the title page, table of contents, and references. For your research and analysis, you should identify seven (7) to ten (10) significant articles/sources relevant to your subject organization and identify and assess security management elements and risks for that type of organization. Be sure to carefully cite (using correct APA 6th edition) all sources of information in your report. The analysis will be conducted using only publicly available information (e.g., information obtainable on the Internet (using a browser), company reports, news reports, journal articles, etc.). Your security management elements and risk analysis should consider legitimate, known security issues and threats that pertain to the subject organization.

NIST provides relevant information on security management and risk management. For example, refer to NIST Special Publication 800-30, Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems.
