Assessing Security Controls and Risk

Assessing Security Controls and Risk

Based on the Assignment Scenario, determine the risk associated with the vulnerabilities. Use NIST SP 800-30 to calculate the risks for each vulnerability.

Part 1 – Report Risk

Develop a 2- to -3-page Security Assessment Report (SAR) using the Wk 4 Assignment Template . The Security Assessment Report (SAR) should include the following for each vulnerability:

· Vulnerability title

· A precise vulnerability description

· Likelihood

· Impact

· Overall risk level

· Logical recommendations for mitigation

Part 2 – Communicate the Risk to Leadership

Develop a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation documenting the risks for each vulnerability to be presented to the leadership of Health Coverage Associates.

The presentation should include:

· An introduction slide

· A description of each of the three vulnerabilities

· An accurate illustration of the NIST SP-30 5x5 matrices

· A description of the likelihood and impact, with a justification of that determination (e.g., very low, low, moderate, high, very high)

· An illustration of the overall, high watermark level of risk (e.g., very low, low, moderate, high, very high)

· A logical recommendation for mitigation actions, including an explanation of risk tolerance and risk acceptance for the organization

· A conclusion slide

· Detailed speaker notes
