StarHub: PESTEL Analysis and Competitive Environment Assessment

Task:

Part 1: Developing Comprehensive Organizational Strategy for Information Assurance

Throughout this course, you explored perspectives on ways to develop an organizational strategy for information assurance. In order to be successful, the strategy needs to be designed and implemented as a whole. Now it is time to integrate your learning from previous Weeks.

To prepare for this Project, apply “The Process” you followed for the Week 4 Project and continue to reference the fictitious organization you have developed for earlier Project assignments. You will need to state your assumptions and create sample data for this fictional case. Create outlines, tables, or diagrams, as needed, to convey the high-level security plan for the organization.

Write a 3- to 5-page paper about a comprehensive organizational strategy for information assurance for your organization. Include the following points:

Determine what questions regarding different key areas of security are important to have answered, and then describe what is measured, how data for measurement is gathered, and how results are calculated.

Develop 4–5 examples of strategic metrics that demonstrate the key areas of security for the organization.

Generate sample data that will be displayed graphically in part 2 of this Week’s Project.

Part 2: Creating Presentation for Comprehensive Organizational Strategy for Information Assurance

Developing a strategy is not enough; as a professional you need to present your strategy to the important stakeholders to get their support and approval for resources. A very good strategy, if poorly communicated, may not receive top management support for implementation. 

For this part of the Project, create a PowerPoint presentation (5–7 slides) that shows a well-developed information assurance strategy, one that covers “The Process” well (Brotby, 2009, pp. 100–104). Use graphical representations to show how the organization is achieving its goals or at least trending that way. Incorporate your sample data from part 1 of the Project in this Week as your graphical representation.
