Step 6: Submit Written Comments

Develop your final written comments for presentation at the next standards body meeting. These comments should be between two and three pages, and it should include a paragraph on your thoughts about how your comments will be received and whether or not they will have an impact on the regulation/standard, etc.

Update the Standards Summary from the previous step according to the feedback you received. Attach the Standards Summary to your written comments. (The Standards Summary should not be included in the length requirement of the written comments.)

Submit your written comments.

 

Before you submit your assignment, review the competencies below, which your instructor will use to evaluate your work. A good practice would be to use each competency as a self-check to confirm you have incorporated all of them. To view the complete grading rubric, click My Tools, select Assignments from the drop-down menu, and then click the project title.

• 1.2: Develop coherent paragraphs or points so that each is internally unified and so that each functions as part of the whole document or presentation.

Project 3: Industry Comments on Proposed Cyber Standards
Step 5: Assess Industry Cyber Posture and Create a Relevant Standard

 

 My chosen industry is the HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY

 

Now that you have chosen your industry and you are aware of the cyber issues affecting it, it is time to identify a standard to address one of the cyber issues you identified. For example, in response to the credit card fraud in the retail industry, the bank card industry adopted the chip and PIN standard for credit cards. Using feedback you received from your instructor in previous steps, create a cybersecurity standard relevant to your chosen industry. Refer to industry-specific regulations for additional background on existing regulations.

Create a relevant standard and write a one-page summary documenting the standard and evaluating the impact it would have on your selected issues and business operations in your industry. This summary will be included in your written comments in the following step.

Submit your Standards Summary for feedback.

 

Project 3: Industry Comments on Proposed Cyber Standards
Step 1: Selection of Industry and Cyber Issues

Throughout this project, you will assume the perspective from an organization in a particular industry.

In order to prepare your perspective, you will complete the following:

• Select a specific industry from one of the following areas: health care, finance, telecommunications, automotive, or retail upon which you will focus your oral statement. For example, you may choose to research the industry of grocery stores (retail) or hospitals (health care). Do not select a specific company; focus on the industry.
• Research and write a short paragraph about the cybersecurity issues you discover for your particular industry.

Once you select your industry and identify its cyber issues, submit your findings to the discussion board to get feedback from your instructor.
