Unit 3 Assignment 1 The Security Policy Framework (SPF) represents a new and innovative approach to protective security and risk management in government. The SPF has a solid policy basis, taking and adapting much of the Manual of Protective Security (MPS) and the Counter-Terrorist Protective Security Manual (CTPSM). Whilst much of the existing policy within those manuals has found its way into the new framework, it must be noted that the SPF represents a new approach. It is vital that organizations understand that the SPF cannot simply be applied as their own departmental security policy, but that it must be used, adapted and applied in framing departmental security policies to meet the specific business needs of the organization and its delivery partners. In general terms the framework is aimed primarily at Government Departments and Agencies in supporting its protective security and counter-terrorism responsibilities; however, it does have wider application.

Week 3 Assignment: Using Roles Lane Carey CMGT/430 October 21, 2013 Instructor: Stephen Jones Controlling access to sensitive information is an important part of the risk management strategy for McBride Financial services. Knowing who should have access to sensitive information may seem like a straight-forward decision; but knowing how to control access can be difficult. Access controls help maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. When protecting information across the organization, separating duties and defining roles will assist the determination of data and system access needs of individuals in the organization. A role-based access control system is the best way to set and maintain the access needs for the organization.
Using this system for Identification will make the company more secure in day to day operations. The second part I need to implement for this remote access control policy is Authentication, which is defined as: what you know or passwords, numeric keys, PIN numbers, secret questions and answers. For remote access, there has to be proof that the person is who they say they are every time they attempt to access a workstation with a retry limit.

Also using knowledge authentication for recovery will make it harder to any potential
Security measures will be put in place at each location including anti-virus and removal of hazardous programs.

This respect should be for each and every individual, including the ones who are believed to be violating your security policies and procedures (Giles, 2008). Proper respect will help to understand security concerns and this will help to form the best policies and standards for the
Having a strong ethics training plan would benefit a facility. Knowledge is the best option for a facility to ensure this. By having a policy, and knowing that a fine could be issued for a violation, employees should think twice about violating privacy policies. Every inch of the policy should be examined and comprehended. If changes need to be changed, the facility should oversee the change.
