Unit 3 Technical Assessment Questions
2.
In your assessment of the State Government RFP document and accompanying IT security
policies, was there a framework definition for the policies that were listed?
If not
, do you
consider this to be a gap or weakness in the overall security design?
Yes, a framework definition for the policies were listed. Without a Framework, there may
be inconsistencies in how policies are developed, implemented, and being enforced
within the state government.
3.
Within the State Government’s policy definitions, is Data Classification a policy definition or
a standard?
No, data classification is not standard but being able to
define depends on many factors
such as a company location, purposes of the company, type of customers and services
Classifications can be unique to an organization but always define data sensitivity level.
For example, one company might use public, controlled, restricted, and confidential
terms while another uses classified, sensitive, and critical. Effective policies govern how
each classification of data may be handled, stored, and used in addition to availability
and access restrictions.The categories of data that will be used to categorize all data are
described in depth, along with a description of the exact sorts of data that fall into each
category (e.g., confidential vs. public). For a state government agency, for instance,
secret data might contain the criminal justice data that local police departments gathered
(such as data on criminal histories). Any data that may be made available to the public,
such as reports on how well a governmental function was performed, is considered
public information. The section should include instructions on how private data should be
handled, transferred, or processed.

4.
Explain how a policy framework can help an organization implement, enforce, and police
policy definition throughout an IT infrastructure.
A policy framework provides a systematic way to manage and govern the use of
technology resources, ensuring that they align with the organization's objectives, security
requirements, and regulatory compliance. It ensures that policies are well-defined,
consistently implemented, enforced, and monitored. This proactive approach helps
organizations reduce security risks, achieve regulatory compliance, and align IT
operations with business objectives.
5.
How do you sell the importance of security policies and policy framework definitions in an
RFP response?
When constructing a RFP response it is important to highlight the need for comprehensive
security controls and policies. Responders should inform the organization that there is no
perfect security plan, there will always be a risk of failure in the security plan. Responders
should highlight the need for an ever changing security policy that implements industry best
practices and is built upon a strong framework. Finally the response should inform the
organization of the importance of regular system and data backups.
