Term Paper: Security Regulation ComplianceThis assignment consists of two (2) sections: a written paper and a
PowerPoint presentation. You must submit both sections as separate files for the
completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of
the assignment it is written for.

In the day-to-day operations of information security, security
professionals often focus the majority of their time dealing with employee
access issues, implementing security methods and measures, and other day-to-day
tasks. They often neglect legal issues that affect information security. As a
result, organizations often violate security-related regulations and often have
to pay heavy fines for their non-compliance.  Thus, as a Chief Information
Officer in a government agency, you realize the need to educate for senior
leadership on some of the primary regulatory requirements, and you realize the
need to ensure that the employees in the agency are aware of these regulatory
requirements as well.
