For this assignment:

3.     Based on your research, create an initial draft of a high-level incident response policy for your organization. Consider Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other health care–related compliance requirements.

4.     Create a summary report that includes the draft policy and justifies the content you included in the draft policy.
