Develop Security Management Plan and Risk Management Plan
Develop a 15-20 page Security Management and Risk Management Plan about an organization of your choosing. Your report should be double-spaced and the page length requirement is exclusive of the title page, table of contents, and references. For your research and analysis, you should identify seven (7) to ten (10) significant articles/sources relevant to your subject organization and identify and assess security management elements and risks for that type of organization. Be sure to carefully cite (using correct APA 6th edition) all sources of information in your report. The analysis will be conducted using only publicly available information (e.g., information obtainable on the Internet (using a browser), company reports, news reports, journal articles, etc.). Your security management elements and risk analysis should consider legitimate, known security issues and threats that pertain to the subject organization.
NIST provides relevant information on security management and risk management. For example, refer to NIST Special Publication 800-30, Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems.

- Develop Subject Organization Information: Examples of relevant information includes:
- Company/Organization name and location
- Company/Organization industry and purpose (i.e., the nature of its business)
- Company/Organization profile (financial information, standing in its industry, reputation)
- Identification of relevant aspects of the company/organization’s computing and network infrastructure, as determined by publicly available information.
- Security Management Elements and Risk Analysis
- In conducting your analysis, focus on identifying the security management elements and the threats and vulnerabilities faced by your subject organization.
- Based on the security elements, threats, and vulnerabilities you identify, next determine both the appropriate security management elements for your organization and the risk analysis and risk mitigation methods for the organization.
- Prepare a Security Management and Risk Management Plan

Determine the Legal Structure of Your Business: Gather and Analyze Information
You go to your office to begin the task at hand—the preparation of a narrated PowerPoint presentation to potential investors that will address all of the issues involved in making this decision. For critical background information, see Creating Sunburst: Legal and Organizational Considerations. You will need this information to make the best legal and organizational decisions for your business.
Since one of the investors will not be able to attend a presentation in person, you need to prepare and record a narrated PowerPoint, so she can listen at her convenience. In order to complete this task, you realize that you must do some research to address the legal and strategic implications if your business is to get off the ground.
- What types of business organizations are available to entrepreneurs?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative?
- What are the two best choices and why?
- How would you explain your choices to your investors?
Be sure to discuss the following information in your plan (refer to Legal Forms of Business before you begin writing):
- What are the different legal forms of business that you might consider? You remember that there are at least six factors that will influence your choice:
- creation and maintenance
- continuity
- ownership and control
- personal liability
- compensation and division of profits
- taxation
- What is your proposed choice for the legal form of business? Include your reasoning based on the preceding six factors and any other relevant factors.
When your research is complete, continue to the next step, in which you will create the Powerpoint presentation for your investors.
Forensic psychology
identify at least one landmark legal case or court decision for each of these important psycholegal areas: CST, criminal responsibility (MSO), the right to mental health treatment, the right to refuse psychiatric treatment, coercion to mental health treatment, and participation in treatment and civil commitment of sex offenders.
Critically analyze the essence of the selected cases.
You may be asking what it means to discuss the “essence” of a court decision. The essence of a court decision involves two things: (1) the issue under dispute and (2) how the court decided that issue. You can usually summarize this information in one or two paragraphs. Remember that you need to identify the final decision by the highest court. Landmark cases are almost always the cases that have been appealed to higher courts for a ruling on an issue of law.
