NOTE: BEFORE TURNING THIS IN, REMOVE THE HIGHLIGHTED TEXT.

Task 1. Complete the BIA table below and use it for the remainder of the assignment. You may want to review your Lab #07 assignment where you developed a BIA table. Information needed to create the Business Functions and Processes below are in the “Project Management Plan” scenario and the “Project Health Network Visual”. Hint: look at the processes that go from the customers and into the systems/applications in the “Project Health Network Visual”.

Task 1: Business Impact Analysis – extracts from the Boiler Plate

1. Overview

This Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is developed as part of the contingency planning process for the HNetExchange Message system, HNetConnect Directory system and HNetPay Payment system. It was prepared for Health Network, Inc (Health Network).

2. System Description

<In this section, provide a general description of the system architecture (hardware, software, databases, etc) and functionality as provided in the scenario and visual. Indicate the operating environment (i.e. Data Center, etc), physical location, general location of users, and partnerships with external organizations/systems. Include information regarding any other technical considerations that are important for recovery purposes, such as backup procedures or the lack of backup procedures.>

3.1.1 Identify Outage Impacts and Estimated Downtime

Estimated Downtime

The table below identifies the MTD, RTO, and RPO for the organizational business processes that rely on the HNetExchange Message system, HNetConnect Directory system and HNetPay Payment system.

<Complete the tables below for each system using the RTO from your BIA table and estimating the MTD and RPO based on any drivers that might determine their values (e.g., mandate, workload, performance measure, etc.).>

Task 2: Business Continuity Plan – extracts from the Boiler Plate

<After discussions with management, the organization implemented the following Back-up Plan: all database files are backed-up to tape at the end of the day. These tapes are then stored offsite. The HNetPay data is backed-up daily and retained for 6 months. The HNetMessage messages are backed-up daily and retained for 3 months. All other data is backed-up weekly and retained for 60 days. If the BCP is executed, the most current tapes are copied and mailed to the alternate site.

Modify the statements below to reflect this decision. FAILURE TO MODIFY THIS SECTION WILL RESULT IN DEDUCTED POINTS!!!!>

Emergency management standards

Data backup policy

Full and incremental backups preserve corporate information assets and should be performed on a regular basis for audit logs and files that are irreplaceable, have a high replacement cost, or are considered critical. Backup media should be stored in a secure, geographically separate location from the original and isolated from environmental hazards.

Department-specific data and document retention policies specify what records must be retained and for how long. All organizations are accountable for carrying out the provisions of the instruction for records in their organization.

IT follows these standards for its data backup and archiving:

Tape retention policy

Backup media is stored at locations that are secure, isolated from environmental hazards, and geographically separate from the location housing the system.

Billing tapes

· Tapes greater than three years old are destroyed every six months.

· Tapes less than three years old must be stored locally off-site.

· The system supervisor is responsible for the transition cycle of tapes.

System image tapes

· A copy of the most current image files must be made at least once per week.

· This backup must be stored offsite.

· The system supervisor is responsible for this activity.

Off-site storage procedures

· Tapes and disks, and other suitable media are stored in environmentally secure facilities.

· Tape or disk rotation occurs on a regular schedule coordinated with the storage vendor.

Access to backup databases and other data is tested annually

Task 3: Disaster Recovery Plan – extracts from the Boiler Plate

Task 4: Computer Incident Response Team Plan – extracts from the Boiler Plate

<There are 6 Threats Identified in the “Project Risk Management Plan”. For this assignment, assume the following Threat exploited a Vulnerability:

· Loss of company information on lost company-owned laptop

Complete all HIGHLIGHTED areas below. >

Appendix A – Incident Response Worksheet

Preparation :

What tools, applications, laptops, and communication devices were needed to address the Computer Incident Response for this specific breach?

Identification : When an incident is reported, it must be identified, classified, and documented. During this step, the following information is needed:

· Identify the nature of the incident

· What Business Process was impacted

· What threat was identified

· What weakness was identified

· What risk was identified

· What was the Risk Factor/Impact of the incident

· What was the RTO, MTD and RPO assigned to the business process

· What hardware, software, database and other resource were impacted

Containment : The immediate objective is to limit the scope and magnitude of the computer/security-related incident as quickly as possible, rather than allow the incident to continue to gain evidence for identifying and/or prosecuting the perpetrator.

· What needs to be done to limit the scope of the incident

Eradication : The next priority is to remove the computer/security-related incident or breach’s effects.

· What needs to be done to mitigate the risk of the incident

Recovery : Recovery is specific to bringing back into production those IT systems, applications, and assets that were affected by the security-related incident.

· What needs to be done to recover the IT systems

· What procedures need to be used and are they covered in the Disaster Recovery Plan

· Would the Business Continuity Plan be executed in response to this incident

· Would any issues be identified that would lead to updates to the BIA, BCP or DR plans.
