E-commerce Monitoring and Control Policy Plan for Simply New Zealand Limited

Simply New Zealand investigates E-commerce options

Simply New Zealand has been investigating cloud-based e commerce versus investing in hardware and software to self-host.  The decision was not easy for them – the templates from cloud-based solution providers suited their business well, but the benefits of control with self-hosting are attractive.  Simply New Zealand has decided to implement an e commerce sales revenue model, which will be self-hosted.   

The business now needs to understand security, risks, implementation issues and monitoring for their online business.  With gaining an understanding of these issues, Simply New Zealand may better be able to prepare and respond to issues to ensure the continuity and security of service to customers. 

Before the business can go ahead with the development of the e commerce build, they require a monitoring and control plan for the e commerce venture.  The plan will guide the company on issues they need to be aware of for the implementation and secure operation of the online business. 

They have hired AA Security Consultants to develop a robust monitoring and control plan.  As part of the AA Security Consultants team, you are required to complete the document titled: E-commerce Monitoring and Control Policy Plan for Simply New Zealand Limited.
