Deliverables

Scenario

You work for a high-tech company with approximately 390 employees. Your firm recently won a large DoD contract, which will add 30% to the revenue of your organization. It is a high-priority, high-visibility project. You will be allowed to make your own budget, project timeline, and tollgate decisions.

This course project will require you to form a team of 4 coworkers (fellow students) and develop the proper DoD security policies required to meet DoD standards for delivery of technology services to the U.S. Air Force Cyber Security Center (AFCSC), a DoD agency. To do this, you must develop DoD-approved policies and standards for your IT infrastructure (see the “Tasks” section below). The policies you create must pass DoD-based requirements. Currently, your organization does not have any DoD contracts and thus has no DoD-compliant security policies or controls in place.

Your firm's computing environment includes the following:

§  12 servers running Microsoft Server 2012 R2, providing the following:

o   Active Directory (AD)

o   Domain Name System (DNS)

o   Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

o   Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application (Oracle)

o   A Research and Development (R&D) Engineering network segment for testing, separate from the production environment

o   Microsoft Exchange Server for e-mail

o   Symantec e-mail filter

o   Websense for Internet use

§  Two Linux servers running Apache Server to host your Web site

§  390 PCs/laptops running Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8, Microsoft Office 2013, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Project, and Adobe Reader

Tasks

You should:

§  Select a team leader for your project group.

§  Create policies that are DoD compliant for the organization’s IT infrastructure.

§  Develop a list of compliance laws required for DoD contracts.

§  List controls placed on domains in the IT infrastructure.

§  List required standards for all devices, categorized by IT domain.

§  Develop a deployment plan for implementation of these polices, standards, and controls.

§  List all applicable DoD frameworks in the final delivery document.

§  Write a professional report that includes all of the above content-related items.
