SCENARIO

You work for a high-tech company with approximately 390 employees. Your firm recently won a large DoD contract, which will add 30% to the revenue of your organization. It is a high-priority, high-visibility project. You will be allowed to make your own budget, project timeline, and tollgate decisions.

This course project will require you to form a team and develop the proper DoD security policies required to meet DoD standards for delivery of technology services to the U.S. Air Force Cyber Security Center (AFCSC), a DoD agency. To do this, you must develop DoD-approved policies and standards for your IT infrastructure (see the “Tasks” section below). The policies you create must pass DoD-based requirements. Currently, your organization does not have any DoD contracts and thus has no DoD-compliant security policies or controls in place.

Your firm’s computing environment includes the following:

  • 12 servers running Microsoft Server 2012 R2, providing the following:
    • Active Directory (AD)
    • Domain Name System (DNS)
    • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
    • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application (Oracle)
    • A Research and Development (R&D) Engineering network segment for testing, separate from the production environment
    • Microsoft Exchange Server for e-mail
    • Symantec e-mail filter
    • Websense for Internet use
  • Two Linux servers running Apache Server to host your Web site
  • 390 PCs/laptops running Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8, Microsoft Office 2013, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Project, and Adobe Reader
  • Select a team leader for your project group.
  • Create policies that are DoD compliant for the organization’s IT infrastructure.
  • Develop a list of compliance laws required for DoD contracts.
  • List controls placed on domains in the IT infrastructure.
  • List required standards for all devices, categorized by IT domain.
  • Develop a deployment plan for implementation of these polices, standards, and controls.
  • List all applicable DoD frameworks in the final delivery document.
  • Write a professional report that includes all of the above content-related items.
