Policy
Issue & Plan of Action

The company has grown substantially
over the past few years. The current Employee Handbook was created from a set
of templates purchased from a business services firm. The policies in the
handbook were reviewed by the company’s attorney at the time of purchase. The
attorney raised no objections at that time. During a recent legal review, the
company’s corporate counsel advised that the company update the Employee
Handbook to better address its current operating environment. The Chief
Executive Officer has tasked the Chief of Staff to oversee the handbook updates
including obtaining all necessary approvals from the Corporate Governance Board.

The Chief of Staff met with the full
IT Governance Board to discuss the required policy updates. (The IT Governance
Board is responsible for providing oversight for all IT matters within the
company). The outcome of that meeting was an agreement that the CISO and CISO
staff will update and/or create IT related policies for the employee handbook.
These policies include:

• Acceptable Use Policy for
  Information Technology
• Bring Your Own Device
  Policy
• Digital Media
  Sanitization, Reuse, & Destruction Policy

Your
Task Assignment

As a staff member supporting the CISO,
you have been asked to research what the three policies should contain and then
prepare an “approval draft” for each one. No single policy should exceed two
typed pages in length so you will need to be concise in your writing and only
include the most important elements for each policy.

The policies are to be written for
EMPLOYEES and must explain employee obligations and responsibilities. Each
policy must also include the penalties for violations of the policy and
identify who is responsible for compliance enforcement.

Your “approval drafts” will be
submitted to the IT Governance Board for discussion and vetting. If the board
accepts your policies, they will then be reviewed and critiqued by all
department heads and executives before being finalized by the Chief of Staff’s
office. The policies will also be subjected to a thorough legal review by the
company’s attorneys. Upon final approval by the Corporate Governance Board, the
policies will be adopted and placed into the Employee Handbook.

Research:

1. Review
   the table of contents and relevant chapters in the Certified Information
   Privacy Professional textbook to find information about legal and regulatory
   drivers.
2. Review
   the remaining course readings.
3. Review
   the sample policies and procedures provided in Week 3.
4. Find
   additional sources which provide information about the policy statements which
   should be covered in three policies for the Employee Handbook.

Write:

1. Prepare
   briefing package with approval drafts of the three IT related policies for the Employee
   Handbook. Your  briefing package must
   contain the following:
2. Executive Summary
3. “Approval Drafts” for
   1. Acceptable Use Policy for
      Information Technology
   1. Bring Your Own Device
      Policy
   1. Digital Media
      Sanitization, Reuse, & Destruction Policy

As you write your policies, make sure that
you address security issues using standard cybersecurity terminology (e.g. 5
Pillars of IA, 5 Pillars of Information Security). See the resources listed
under Course Resources > Cybersecurity Concepts Review for definitions and
terminology.

• Use
  a professional format for your policy documents and briefing package. A
  recommended format is provided in the assignment template file (see the
  recommended template under Course Resources).
• You must include a cover page with
  the assignment title, your name, and the due date. Your reference list must be
  on a separate page at the end of your file. These pages do not count towards
  the assignment’s page count. 
• Common
  phrases do not require citations. If there is doubt as to whether or not
  information requires attribution, provide a footnote with publication
  information or use APA format citations and references.
• You
  are expected to write grammatically correct English in every assignment that
  you submit for grading. Do not turn in any work without (a) using spell check,
  (b) using grammar check, (c) verifying that your punctuation is correct and (d)
  reviewing your work for correct word usage and correctly structured sentences
  and paragraphs.   
• Consult the grading rubric for
  specific content and formatting requirements for this assignment.
