suggestions of improvements to their security. Use this organisation for this assessment item as
well. Depending on the size of the organisation (small, medium, large) you are asked to assist in
developing a security program. Reflect on the current roles and titles of the security personnel and
make suggestions of improvements. Provide a plan to make these changes incorporating training
requirements. Determine if the organisation uses any ISO security standards and provide reasoning
which security model would be more suitable. Determine the suitability of certification. Justify by
using threat identification and provide risk assessment for this organisation.

you are working for an organisation, use the internet to determine what information is available to
the public. To protect security of the organisation, you are requested to invent the current security
situation of this organisation. This will allow you to create a scenario that you can then use to apply
your knowledge of the course material.
