Assignment 1: Organizations – Business Process Redesign at the Small Business Administration

/in /by

In a November 30, 2001 report to congressional requesters, the General Accounting Office (GAO) outlined the need for a thorough evaluation of the potential use of the software before developing and contracting for the loan monitoring system, the SBA needed. The SBA agreed to do so (see http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d02188.pdf).

In July 2004, Inc.com reported that … monitoring system that can help it oversee a portfolio of $45 billion in loans. Now it needs to lay out exactly how it is going to use it, says Senator Olympia Snowe, chair of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. In 2003, the Small Business Administration (SBA) awarded a contract to Dun & Bradstreet to provide the agency with a loan monitoring service to help it assess and manage risk associated with its borrowers and lenders. The GAO reviewed the service, at Senator Snowe’s request, and reported that the service was on par with those used by private sector lenders, but that the SBA did not have policies in place to use it to fulfill the agency’s needs. Snowe pushed the SBA to develop those policies.

SBA’s new Disaster Credit Management System (DCMS) was launched in November 2004 and faced its first critical test in the fall of 2005, when the nation was hit with some major hurricanes in 2005, including Katrina, the costliest hurricane with an estimated cost of $35 billion. SBA was (and still is) swamped with loan applications as is the Small Business Administration Disaster Credit Management System Support.

In July 2006, GAO issued a report evaluating the following:

  • Factors affecting SBA’s ability to provide timely disaster assistance
  • Actions SBA took after the disasters to improve its response to disaster victims (see Report GAO-06-860 at http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d06860.pdf)

Use the above links, the material in the textbook, Argosy University online databases, and the Web to address the following questions:

  1. What was wrong with the existing loan management system and why did SBA decide to replace it in 2004?
  2. In what other ways could the agency use information systems to improve the process of loan application, approval, and maintenance?
  3. Go to the SRA, Inc. Web site (http://www.sra.com/) and identify the features of the company’s software used by SBA (http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=131092&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=616444&highlight=)What other features should SBA think of using?

Your response should be a 2–3 page Microsoft Word document, double spaced, and in 12 point Times New Roman or New Courier font. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources. Be sure to cite the references you used.

Technical Paper: Risk Assessment

Due Week 10 and worth 160 points

Technical Paper Diagram

 

Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram

Above is the Global Finance, Inc. (GFI) network diagram. A hypothetical company, GFI has grown rapidly this past year and implemented a number of network devices as displayed in the diagram. The company invested in the network and designed it to be fault tolerant and resilient from any network failures. However, although the company’s financial status has matured and its network has expanded at a rapid pace, its overall network security posture has not kept up with the company growth.

 

GFI’s network has historically been fairly stable, and the company has not experienced many full scale network outages. GFI has hired three (3) network engineers to keep up with the network growth, as well as the bandwidth demand by the company employees and the clients. However, the company has not hired any security personnel who can take care of the operational security responsibility.

 

The trusted computing base (TCB) internal network within the Global Finance, Inc. Network Diagram hosts the company’s mission critical systems that are vital to the company’s operations that also affect the overall financial situation. The Oracle database and email systems are among the most intensively used application servers in the company. GFI cannot afford system or network outages, as its cash flow and financial systems heavily depend on the network stability and availability. GFI has experienced DoS network attacks twice this year, and its Oracle database and email servers had been down for a total of one (1) week as a result. The recovery process required GFI to utilize $25,000 to restore its operations to the normal operating baseline. GFI estimated the loss from these network attacks at more than $1,000,000, as well as lost customer confidence.

Write an eight to ten (8-10) page formal risk assessment proposal in which you:

  1. Describe the company network, interconnection, and communication environment.
  2. Assess risk based on the GFI, Inc. network diagram scenario. Note:Your risk assessment should cover all the necessary details for your client, GFI Inc., to understand the risk factors of the organization and risk posture of the current environment. The company management will utilize this risk assessment to determine what actions to take; therefore, it must be comprehensive for the business leaders to make data-driven decisions.
    1. Defend your assumptions where pertinent information from the scenario isn’t available.
    2. Ascertain apparent security vulnerabilities, and analyze at least three (3) such vulnerabilities. Such analysis should entertain the possibility of faulty network design. Recommend mitigation processes and procedures for each of the identified vulnerabilities.
    3. Justify your cryptography recommendations, based on security concerns and requirements, data-driven decision-making, and objective opinions.
  3. Examine whether your risk assessment methodology is quantitative, qualitative, or a combination of these, and discuss the main reasons why you believe that the methodology that you utilized was the most appropriate.
  4. Explain the way in which you would present your findings and assessment to the company’s management and thus facilitate security buy-in and concentration.
  5. Using Microsoft Visio or its open source equivalent, redraw the CFI diagram, depicted as a secure and risk-mitigating model. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
  6. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
  • Include charts or diagrams created in Visio or an open source alternative such as Dia. The completed diagrams / charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

 

  • Evaluate an organization’s security policies and risk management procedures, and its ability to provide security countermeasures.
  • Analyze the methods of managing, controlling, and mitigating security risks and vulnerabilities.
  • Explain access control methods and attacks.
  • Describe the details and the importance of application security models and their implementation from a management perspective.
  • Evaluate and explain from a management perspective the industry-standard equipment, tools, and technologies organizations can employ to mitigate risks and thwart both internal and external attacks.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in security management.
  • Write clearly and concisely about the theories of security management using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

You met with your department manager, a few of the stakeholders, and the sponsor last week to review the list of possible risks. They accepted most of your risks and agreed that the next step was the assessment. There was some confusion, however, over how that step should be completed. Apparently, a prior project manager did a poor job with risk assessment and felt that it was an unnecessary activity. This resulted in the project encountering several risks and always being in fire-fighting mode. Several of the stakeholders (who were impacted most by this mode) want a much more formal approach taken to risk assessment (as does the CEO).

Assignment Guidelines:

You have scheduled a risk assessment meeting for later this week. Create a pre read document for the meeting participants that will walk them through how you will run the meeting and what they should prepare in advance.

In your 3–4 page document, be sure to address the following:

  • Who will you involve? (number of people, roles, and project responsibilities)
  • How will you manage the group?
  • What is your process for assessing the risks? What techniques will you use?
  • Where will you start?

In preparation for the meeting and to help you focus on the upcoming task, review your list of risks. Practice the various techniques you will use by assessing at least 15 of your risks. Create a grid for this activity. Use a qualitative method to identify the high-priority and low-priority risks. Provide a rationale for your responses. Then, using a semi-quantitative method, create a risk score and probability/impact matrix for the remaining risks. The columns should be organized as follows:

  • Risk event
  • Probability
  • Rationale for probability
  • Impact
  • Rationale for impact
  • Next steps (describe what you need to do with this risk event next: nothing, further analysis, or determine actions)

Your submitted assignment (140points) must include the following:

  • A 3–4 page typed pre read document
  • A grid assessing the risks you had outlined in Unit 1 formatted to the requirements listed above

Large companies have been using the power of business analytics for quite a while now. Your company desires to get in on the action; company executives believe that using advanced data analysis will enable the company to make smarter decisions and improve business performance. Business analytics gives companies the ability to look at past realizations and performance as well as set up new expectations and performance goals. Analytics-as-a-Service is a new delivery model that uses cloud technology to provide business insights without enormous infrastructure enhancements. The executive team has heard great things about analytics and cloud technology but is apprehensive because they are unfamiliar with the look and feel of the technology. The executive team is interested in your recommendations and eagerly awaiting your forward-thinking viewpoint.
