Writing assignments are part of every course at CCU. Some writing assignments require academic writing that synthesizes learning using factual statements and scholarly literature; you will be learning more about academic writing later in this course. Other writing assignments require reflective writing that critically examines personal assumptions about course concepts and applies new learning about these concepts to personal life experiences and professional practice. Critical reflection challenges you to examine your learning and assumptions in three ways:Heart – Was there something you learned that transformed the way you feel?Head – What did you learn that you didn’t know before? What confirmed or challenged any beliefs or assumptions you had?Hands – Is there something that you will do differently due to what you have learned? How will you apply what you learn?Both academic and reflective writing assignments require clear writing that is organized using well-constructed sentences and paragraphs (introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion), accurate grammar, and correct spelling.Assignment Requirements:Whether this is the first college course you have even taken or just your first class at CCU, your life experience plays a significant role in who you are and what you hope to accomplish academically and professionally. Write a reflection paper that describes an event or an experience in your life and examines how that experience will influence your academic work and goals at Colorado Christian University. (Use the “Heart, Head, and Hands” questions to help guide your reflection.)Your reflection paper must be:One to two pages in length, double spaced.Written using well-constructed sentences and paragraphs (introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion), accurate grammar, and correct spelling.Titled with your full name, the name of the assignment, and the date.Typewritten in Microsoft Word and saved with a file name that includes your last name, the session number, and the assignment title (e.g., “Johnson.Session1.Writing Assessment”).

The risk mitigation plan should address the identified threats described in the scenario for this project, as well as any new threats that may have been discovered during the risk assessment. You have been assigned to develop this new plan. Evaluation Criteria and Rubrics Did the student develop a high-quality risk mitigation plan based on material provided in the course? Did the student use information obtained from the earlier parts of the project to build out a risk mitigation plan? Did the student create a professional, well-developed draft with proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation?ScenarioYou are an information technology (IT) intern working for Health Network, Inc.

Each corporate facility is located near a co-location data center, where production systems are located and managed by third-party data center hosting vendors. Company Products Health Network has three main products: HNetExchange, HNetPay, and HNetConnect.HNetExchange is the primary source of revenue for the company. The service handles secure electronic medical messages that originate from its customers, such as large hospitals, which are then routed to receiving customers such as clinics.HNetPay is a Web portal used by many of the company’s HNetExchange customers to support the management of secure payments and billing. The HNetPay Web portal, hosted at Health Network production sites, accepts various forms of payments and interacts with credit-card processing organizations much like a Web commerce shopping cart.HNetConnect is an online directory that lists doctors, clinics, and other medical facilities to allow Health Network customers to find the right type of care at the right locations. It contains doctors’ personal information, work addresses, medical certifications, and types of services that the doctors and clinics offer. Doctors are given credentials and are able to update the information in their profile. Health Network customers, which are the hospitals and clinics, connect to all three of the company’s products using HTTPS connections. Doctors and potential patients are able to make payments and update their profiles using Internet-accessible HTTPS Web sites.Information Technology Infrastructure OverviewHealth Network operates in three production data centers that provide high availability across the company’s products. The data centers host about 1,000 production servers, and Health Network maintains 650 corporate laptops and company-issued mobile devices for its employees.Threats IdentifiedUpon review of the current risk management plan, the following threats were identified: Loss of company data due to hardware being removed from production systems Loss of company information on lost or stolen company-owned assets, such as mobile devices and laptops Loss of customers due to production outages caused by various events, such as natural disasters, change management, unstable software, and so on Internet threats due to company products being accessible on the Internet Insider threats Changes in regulatory landscape that may impact operations Management RequestSenior management at Health Network has determined that the existing risk management plan for the organization is out of date and a new risk management plan must be developed.
