Scenario

Changing access controls can have some undesirable effects. Therefore, it is important to carefully

consider changes before making them and provide mechanisms to reverse changes if they have

unexpected consequences.

Always Fresh management has asked you to develop procedures for changing any access controls.

The purpose of these procedures is to ensure that staff:

▪ Understand and document the purpose of each access control change request

▪ Know what access controls were in place before any changes

▪ Get an approval of change by management

▪ Understand the scope of the change, both with respect to users, computers, and objects

▪ Have evaluated the expected impact of the change

▪ Know how to evaluate whether the change meets the goals

▪ Understand how to undo any change if necessary

Tasks

Create a guide that security personnel will use that includes procedures for implementing an access

control change.

The procedure guide must contain the steps Always Fresh security personnel should take to evaluate and

implement an access control change. You can assume any change requests you receive are approved.

Ensure that your procedures include the following:

▪ Status or setting prior to any change

▪ Reason for the change

▪ Change to implement

▪ Scope of the change

▪ Impact of the change

▪ Status or setting after the change

▪ Process to evaluate the change

Required Resources

▪ Internet access

▪ Course textbook

Submission Requirements

▪ Format: Microsoft Word (or compatible)

▪ Font: Arial, size 12, double-space

▪ Citation Style: Follow your school’s preferred style guide

Self-Assessment Checklist

▪ I created a procedure guide that provides clear instructions that anyone with a basic technical

knowledge base can follow.

▪ I created a well-developed and formatted procedure guide with proper grammar, spelling, and

punctuation.

▪ I followed the submission guidelines.

Within the previous step, the SoW report conveyed a brief overview of the organization’s critical aspects and a list of the organization’s security needs. Now, you are ready to develop a comprehensive work breakdown structure (WBS).

This breakdown provides more detail, so you will need to devise examples of procedures you might recommend to your organization. Some examples include a penetration test, baseline analysis, or system logging. Note the tools and techniques to use in conducting a vulnerability assessment to be used later in the project.

Using a spreadsheet, create the comprehensive work breakdown structure, including key elements that must be tested and analyzed. Organize the spreadsheet using the elements identified in the SoW from the previous steps and the following:

• internal threats: personnel, policies, procedures
• external threats: systems, connectivity, databases
• existing security measures: software, hardware, telecommunications, cloud resources
• compliance requirements: legal aspects (federal, state, and local), contractual demands up and down the supply chain

Note the security threats and vulnerabilities. This plan will serve as the second section of the final vulnerability assessment report.
