Law and Policy Case Study

• Congratulations! You have just been hired by a major security consulting firm that has recently won
several contracts to support chief information security officers (CISOs) in the Washington, DC, area. As part
of your first consulting assignment, you have been asked to research and write a short case study (three
pages) in which you discuss the legal environment (i.e., policies, regulations, and laws) and its impact upon
how an organization (e.g., business, government agency, nonprofit) ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of information and information systems. You have one week to complete your assignment.
• The immediate audience for your case study is a group of senior managers (stakeholders) in a client
organization who are not familiar with information security laws and practices. These managers need a brief
overview of the legal environment to assist them in reviewing and commenting upon a new governance policy for
their organization’s information security program. Your case study should be general enough, however, that it
can be reused with other clients.
• Your supervisor has also given you a “heads up” about a trap that previousconsultants have missed when
completing similar work for other clients: the term policy has two meanings that you must address: (a)
government policies (e.g., those issued by federal, state, local, or tribal governments) and (b)
organizational policies (e.g., those written to guide an organization’s compliance with laws, regulations, and
policies).
• Remember to cite your sources in APA format and use only authoritative/scholarly sources such as
journal articles, books, government documents, and other industry publications (e.g., trade journals or
magazines for health care or security professionals). The title page and list of references are not included
in the required page count.
CEO’s and CIOS’ need to find out how to put together their Information Security Program but they must know
what is the Legal environment of the general business entity and its effect on the Confidentiality, Integrity
and availability.
