To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources.
Narrow the topic to a specific problem that can be researched in the scholarly literature.
Search the Walden University Library and/or the Internet for at least 2 peer-reviewed sources to support your topic selection and problem.

Prepare a plan to design functions that encompass scoping a program
Prepare a plan to design functions that encompass scoping a program or developing procedures, processes, and architectures that guide work execution at the program and/or system level). For this assignment instructions, please see below:
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
See this Web Site: http://www.faulkner.com.ezproxy2.apus.edu/products/securitymgt and read the Geoff Keston article titled "Developing A Security Communications Plan".
According to Keston (2013), "A mark of a mature security communications program is the shift away from one-time messages, such as ad hoc emails. Such messages are easily forgotten and are often hard to find after a few weeks. A good security communications plan will include sending updates and alerts as well as maintaining a repository of documentation. Creating such a repository (or a consolidated document) makes information easier to find, and it helps to link together disparate elements into a unified plan."
For the purpose of this assignment, you are tasked as the Cybersecurity Director to prepare a Security Communications Plan for execution at the program level. You are to develop a security communications plan for your organization that addresses the handling of all communications related to security. Follow the requirements below:
REQUIREMENTS:
1. 5 Pages in length in APA format (not including a cover page and reference section)
2. Cover Page
3. Develop a comprehensive security plan that does the following:
- Identify archiving procedures
- Establish approval processes for sending communications
- Describe legal and regulatory requirements
- Define key terms
- Define severity levels and message types
- Using the definitions of severity levels and message types, diagram who receives messages and through what means they receive them (e.g., text messages)
- The plan will address the concerns of many constituents, including executives, IT staff members, and end users, as well as customers and partners. Each group has somewhat different needs, so it is helpful to structure a plan to protect sensitive information from the entire group and to make targeted information easy for its audience to find.
4. Reference Section
- Your references should not be more than 5 years old

The mass media measures its images and programs in seconds
The mass media measures its images and programs in seconds and frames per second, always with the goal of getting our attention and making the sale. In order to depict and portray groups, particularly religious or ethnic groups, it often resorts to the use of iconic imagery, nonverbal dress, and ritualistic actions to quickly but effectively refer to a specific religious group.
Reducing a group to a brief set of images hardly captures its culture or complexity—and can easily run the risk of a stereotype, making it appear that all people share these traits when nothing could be farther from the truth. Presenting members of a group with a story of tragedy or violence can quickly create an association where none exists.
In this Discussion, you will consider a group of your choice. Then, explore its depiction, portrayal, and what we can do to address stereotypes and bias in the media.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Read the Communication Program Discussion Guidelines.
Review the Learning Resources for this week.

To seek shelter from the competitive storm, Marcus Welby Hospital (MWH)
To seek shelter from the competitive storm, Marcus Welby Hospital (MWH) is considering forming a joint venture with an existing for-profit HMO. MWH would be given 30 percent ownership of the privately held HMO, and each of its five board of trustees members would be given 1 percent ownership, in exchange for MWH contributing $10 million in capital funds, which is 35 percent of the HMO's appraised net worth. Since the HMO already owns its own nursing home, MWH will raise the capital by selling its nursing home. MWH will receive 30 percent of whatever profit distributions the HMO board chooses to make from time to time and the trustees will receive their 1 percent shares. MWH also hopes to increase its patient base for hospital admissions and to secure a better bargaining position for reimbursements from the HMO, but the HMO is making no promises about where its subscribers will be sent for hospital care, nor how it will pay MWH for hospital services to its subscribers.
Assume that MWH has articles of incorporation similar to Queen of Angels' only covering nursing home as well as hospital services, and that it has received only general, unrestricted gifts from donors. Also, assume there is no other management or personal connection between MWH and the HMO.
• What issues would you want to alert the hospital board to concerning whether this is a permissible venture, and how the HMO can use its capital funds?
• Would these parties be advised to have the HMO pledge some portion of its revenues to pay for charity care services at MWH?
Marcus Welby Hospital has decided to form an HMO
Marcus Welby Hospital has decided to form an HMO in which it wants to give physicians a major stake, in order to foster allegiance and encourage cost-effective treatment. You are consulted as a legal and management expert to advise the hospital on the consequences of forming the HMO as a nonprofit versus a for-profit entity. What are the relevant considerations with respect to tax exemption, the ability to raise capital, the role of physicians, and operational constraints?

Communication is as much art as science, and like all people,
Communication is as much art as science, and like all people, you likely have your personal strengths and weaknesses. With a growth mindset, you can always learn to improve your skills by identifying your challenges and taking steps to overcome them. In this Discussion, you identify your strengths as an online communicator, as well as areas in which you can improve.
To Prepare:
Review Video Interviews With Effective Online Instructors. Consider which communication skills addressed are most important to you, and why. Imagine that you are being interviewed for an online teaching position. You are asked by the interviewer to explain your strengths in online communication, as well as areas that you are actively working to develop.
Post your response to the interview question about your strengths as a communicator and how you are working to develop your communication skills. Share examples that include at least three areas of strength and three areas for growth in online communication. After providing your response, be sure to support your statements by citing from the literature addressing online communication skills.
Pricing strategy varies significantly across different market structures
Pricing strategy varies significantly across different market structures. The pricing guidelines in a monopoly market are relatively straightforward. Since the company is the only producer offering the product, it can mark-up the price as far as the customer can bear. The pricing strategies for a producer operating in a perfect competition structure are also fairly intuitive. They are price takers, and hence price is set at the marginal cost of the product. This is due to the fact that there are many firms offering nearly identical products. However, there is optimal pricing for the market structures offering differentiated products with many competitors (oligopoly) or a few producers (monopolistic competition). These are much more complex and involved. It has been stated that differentiation in products that creates differences in customer valuation is the most prevalent type of competition. In such markets pricing strategies may include the three C's of cost, competition, and customer.
Develop a paper detailing an analysis of market structures and relating pricing strategies that are suitable for each of these structures. Furthermore, include a real world example of pricing strategy for a specific company by identifying its market structure.
Your paper should be around 10 double spaced pages, in APA Format and structured as follows:

Last year, the marketing department rolled out a Loyalty Card strategy to increase sales. Under this program, customers present their Loyalty Card when paying for their orders and receive some free food after making 10 purchases.
The company has collected data from its 74 restaurants to track important variables such as average sales per customer, year-on-year sales growth, sales per sq. ft., Loyalty Card usage as a percentage of sales, and others. A key metric of financial performance in the restaurant industry is annual sales per sq. ft. For example, if a 1200 sq. ft. restaurant recorded $2 million in sales last year, then it sold $1,667 per sq. ft.
Executive management wants to know whether the current expansion criteria can be improved. They want to evaluate the effectiveness of the Loyalty Card marketing strategy and identify feasible, actionable opportunities for improvement. As a member of the analytics department, you’ve been assigned the responsibility of conducting a thorough statistical analysis of the company’s available database to answer executive management’s questions.
Report:
Write a 750-word statistical report that includes the following sections:
Section 1: Scope and descriptive statistics
Section 2: Analysis
Section 3: Recommendations and Implementation
Section 1 - Scope and descriptive statistics
State the report’s objective.
Discuss the nature of the current database. What variables were analyzed?
Summarize your descriptive statistics findings from Excel. Use a table and insert appropriate graphs.
Section 2 - Analysis
Using Excel, create scatter plots and display the regression equations for the following pairs of variables:
“BachDeg%” versus “Sales/SqFt”
“MedIncome” versus “Sales/SqFt”
“MedAge” versus “Sales/SqFt”
“LoyaltyCard(%)” versus “SalesGrowth(%)”
In your report, include the scatter plots. For each scatter plot, designate the type of relationship observed (increasing/positive, decreasing/negative, or no relationship) and determine what you can conclude from these relationships.
Section 3: Recommendations and implementation
Based on your findings above, assess which expansion criteria seem to be more effective. Could any expansion criterion be changed or eliminated? If so, which one and why?
Based on your findings above, does it appear as if the Loyalty Card is positively correlated with sales growth? Would you recommend changing this marketing strategy?
Based on your previous findings, recommend marketing positioning that targets a specific demographic. (Hint: Are younger people patronizing the restaurants more than older people?)
Indicate what information should be collected to track and evaluate the effectiveness of your recommendations. How can this data be collected? (Hint: Would you use survey/samples or census?)
Cite references to support your assignment.
Format your citations according to APA guidelines.

Hypothesis testing is used in business to test assumptions and theories.
Hypothesis testing is used in business to test assumptions and theories. These assumptions are tested against evidence provided by actual, observed data. A statistical hypothesis is a statement about the value of a population parameter that we are interested in. Hypothesis testing is a process followed to arrive at a decision between 2 competing, mutually exclusive, collective exhaustive statements about the parameter’s value.
Consider the following scenario: An industrial seller of grass seeds packages its product in 50-pound bags. A customer has recently filed a complained alleging that the bags are underfilled. A production manager randomly samples a batch and measures the following weights:
Weight, (lbs)
45.6 49.5
47.7 46.7
47.6 48.8
50.5 48.6
50.2 51.5
46.9 50.2
47.8 49.9
49.3 49.8
53.1 49.3
49.5 50.1
To determine whether the bags are indeed being underfilled by the machinery, the manager must conduct a test of mean with a significance level α = 0.05.
In a minimum of 175 words, respond to the following:
State appropriate null (Ho) and alternative (H1) hypotheses.
What is the critical value if we work with a significant level α = 0.05?
What is the decision rule?
Calculate the test statistic.
Are the bags indeed being underfilled?
Should machinery be recalibrated?
(1) What information do we obtain from the null hypothesis? What information do we obtain from the alternate hypothesis?
(2) What do we mean when we refer to the critical value? Explain your answer with regard to the decision rule.
(3) How do you calculate the test statistics with Excel for either the z or t statistic?

"How Netflix Expanded to 190 Countries in 7 Years" from Harvard Business Review
https://hbr.org/2018/10/how-netflix-expanded-to-190-countries-in-7-years
Call Center Waiting Time
Part 1: Globalization and Information Research
Context: Companies that perform well in their country of origin usually consider expanding operations in new international markets. Deciding where, how, and when to expand is not an easy task, though.
Many issues need to be considered before crafting an expansion strategy and investing significant resources to this end, including:
the level of demand to be expected for the company’s products/services
presence of local competitors
the regulatory, economic, demographic, and political environments
Carefully researching and analyzing these and other factors can help mitigate the inherent risk associated with an overseas expansion strategy, thus increasing the likelihood of success.
As a data analyst in your company’s business development department, you’ve been tasked with the responsibility of recommending countries for international expansion. You’ll write a report to the company’s executive team with your research, analysis, and recommendations.
Instructions:
Write a 525-word summary covering the following items:
According to the article listed above, what were the most important strategic moves that propelled Netflix’s successful international expansion?
The article mentions investments in big data and analytics as one of the elements accompanying the second phase of overseas expansion. Why was this investment important? What type of information did Netflix derive from the data collected?
According to the article, what is exponential globalization?
Not all international expansion strategies are a resounding success, however. Research an article or video that discusses an instance in which an American company’s expansion efforts in another country failed. According to the article/video you selected, what were the main reasons for this failure? Do you agree with this assessment?
Explain some of the reasons why certain companies’ expansion plans have failed in the past.
Part 2: Hypothesis testing
Context: Your organization is evaluating the quality of its call center operations. One of the most important metrics in a call center is Time in Queue (TiQ), which is the time a customer has to wait before he/she is serviced by a Customer Service Representative (CSR). If a customer has to wait for too long, he/she is more likely to get discouraged and hang up. Furthermore, customers who have to wait too long in the queue typically report a negative overall experience with the call. You’ve conducted an exhaustive literature review and found that the average TiQ in your industry is 2.5 minutes (150 seconds).
Another important metric is Service Time (ST), also known as Handle Time, which is the time a CSR spends servicing the customer. CSR’s with more experience and deeper knowledge tend to resolve customer calls faster. Companies can improve average ST by providing more training to their CSR’s or even by channeling calls according to area of expertise. Last month your company had an average ST of approximately 3.5 minutes (210 seconds). In an effort to improve this metric, the company has implemented a new protocol that channels calls to CSR’s based on area of expertise. The new protocol (PE) is being tested side-by-side with the traditional (PT) protocol.
Instructions:
Access the Call Center Waiting Time file. Each row in the database corresponds to a different call. The column variables are as follows:
ProtocolType: indicates protocol type, either PT or PE
QueueTime: Time in Queue, in seconds
ServiceTime: Service Time, in seconds
Perform a test of hypothesis to determine whether the average TiQ is lower than the industry standard of 2.5 minutes (150 seconds). Use a significance level of α=0.05.
Evaluate if the company should allocate more resources to improve its average TiQ.
Perform a test of hypothesis to determine whether the average ST with service protocol PE is lower than with the PT protocol. Use a significance level of α=0.05.
Assess if the new protocol served its purpose. (Hint: this should be a test of means for 2 independent groups.)
Submit your calculations and a 175-word summary of your conclusions.

This assignment provides an opportunity to develop, evaluate,
Purpose
This assignment provides an opportunity to develop, evaluate, and apply bivariate and multivariate linear regression models.
Resources: Microsoft Excel®, DAT565_v3_Wk5_Data_File
Instructions:
The Excel file for this assignment contains a database with information about the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings in a city. The following is a list of the variables in the database:
FloorArea: square feet of floor space
Offices: number of offices in the building
Entrances: number of customer entrances
Age: age of the building (years)
Age: age of the building (years)
AssessedValue: tax assessment value (thousands of dollars)
Use the data to construct a model that predicts the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings with specific characteristics.
Construct a scatter plot in Excel with FloorArea as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of FloorArea and AssessmentValue. Is FloorArea a significant predictor of AssessmentValue?
Construct a scatter plot in Excel with Age as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of Age and Assessment Value. Is Age a significant predictor of AssessmentValue?
Construct a multiple regression model.
Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis with AssessmentValue as the dependent variable and FloorArea, Offices, Entrances, and Age as independent variables. What is the overall fit r^2? What is the adjusted r^2?
Which predictors are considered significant if we work with α=0.05? Which predictors can be eliminated?
What is the final model if we only use FloorArea and Offices as predictors?
Suppose our final model is:
AssessedValue = 115.9 + 0.26 x FloorArea + 78.34 x Offices
What wouldbe the assessed value of a medical office building with a floor area of 3500 sq. ft., 2 offices, that was built 15 years ago? Is this assessed value consistent with what appears in the database?

You’ll apply statistical time series modeling techniques to identify patterns and develop time-dependent demand models. You’ll practice organizing and delivering a presentation to senior decision-makers. The PowerPoint presentation includes an audio component in addition to speaker notes.
Resource: Microsoft Excel®, DAT565_v3_Wk6_Data_File
Scenario: A city’s administration isn’t driven by the goal of maximizing revenues or profits but instead looks at improving the quality of life of its residents. Many American cities are confronted with high traffic and congestion. Finding parking spaces, whether in the street or a parking lot, can be time-consuming and contribute to congestion. Some cities have rolled out data-driven parking space management to reduce congestion and make traffic more fluid.
You’re a data analyst working for a mid-size city that has anticipated significant increments in population and car traffic. The city is evaluating whether it makes sense to invest in infrastructure to count and report the number of parking spaces available at the different parking lots downtown. This data would be collected and processed in real-time, feeding an app that motorists can access to find parking space availability in different parking lots throughout the city.
Instructions: Work with the provided Excel database. This database has the following columns:
LotCode: A unique code that identifies the parking lot
LotCapacity: A number with the respective parking lot capacity
LotOccupancy: A number with the current number of cars in the parking lot
TimeStamp: A day/time combination indicating the moment when occupancy was measured
Day: The day of the week corresponding to the TimeStamp
Insert a new column, OccupancyRate, recording occupancy rate as a percentage with one decimal. For instance, if the current LotOccupancy is 61 and LotCapacity is 577, then the OccupancyRate would be reported as 10.6 (or 10.6%).
Using the OccupancyRate and Day columns, construct box plots for each day of the week. You can use Insert > Insert Statistic Chart >Box and Whisker for this purpose. Is the median occupancy rate approximately the same throughout the week? If not, which days have lower median occupancy rates? Which days have higher median occupancy rates? Is this what you expected?
Using the OccupancyRate and LotCode columns, construct box plots for each parking lot. You can use Insert > Insert Statistic Chart >Box and Whisker for this purpose. Do all parking lots experience approximately equal occupancy rates? Are some parking lots more frequented than others? Is this what you expected?
Select any 2 parking lots. For each one, prepare a scatter plot showing the occupancy rate against TimeStamp for the week 11/20/2016 –11/26/2016. Are occupancy rates time-dependent? If so, which times seem to experience the highest occupancy rates? Is this what you expected?
Presentation:
Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation with speaker notes and audio. Your audience is the City Council members who are responsible for deciding whether the city invests in resources to set in motion the smart parking space app.
Complete the following in your presentation:
Outline the rationale and goals of the project.
Utilize boxplots showing the occupancy rates for each day of the week. Include your interpretation of the results.
Utilize box plots showing the occupancy rates for each parking lot. Include your interpretation of the results.
Provide scatter plots showing occupancy rate against the time of day of your selected two parking lots. Include your interpretation of the results.
Make a recommendation about continuing with the implementation of this project.

escribe the pathophysiology of depression.
Depression is a psychiatric disorder characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness, depressed mood, and loss of interest in various activities, causing significant daily life impairment.
People can generally be sad after an adverse event happened in their lives, such as losing a job or a loved one but will recover from the event. Depression is a persistent feeling of sadness that lasts about two weeks. The feeling of depression must be accompanied by five or more of the most common symptoms of depression: a change in appetite, losing or gaining weight, sleeping too much, insomnia, fatigue, low energy, feeling helpless, inability to focus, or even suicidal ideation. These symptoms must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important functioning areas. Besides, the individual must not have any history of a manic or hypomanic episode.
Scientists believe that depression is a connective abnormality in the cortico-limbic network. There is an imbalance of connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and one or all of the brain's limbic regions: hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus. It seems like that under depression, the volume of the hippocampus decreases. There are three neurotransmitters responsible for these neuro-connections between the cortical region and the limbic regions. These neurotransmitters are dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. It is important to note that serotonin is the primary neurotransmitter regulating communication between the prefrontal region and the limbic region. In addition, serotonin also regulates the mood and the level of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. It is believed that depletion of these neurotransmitters is the cause of depression. Several other factors can contribute to depression, such as physical health issues, including cancer, a recent loss of limb, certain medications such as cortical steroid, oral contraceptive, family history of depression, environmental factors, and stress. Stress, for example, increases the cortisol level, which may decrease serotonin level. At this time, no unitary mechanism of depressant action has been found. The relationship among serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine needs further assessment and study. However, treatment with medication that helps regulate these neurotransmitters has proved empirically successful in treating many patients.

Depression is a life-threatening, severe disorder that affects over a million people all over the world. Despite what many stereotypes, it is not caused by stress; this disorder can affect anyone from children to adults in their late years (Gregor, 2018).
Depression costs society a lot as it causes distress, and if ignored over time, it can be fatal, even leading to death. The psychopathological state involves symptoms like low mood, distract from other people, and loss of energy or fatigue. Low self-esteem, suicidal tendencies, guilt, and even lack of sleep or insomnia are present symptoms. Depression is no small matter. It is very complex and constitutes different subtypes and more than one etiology (Gregor, 2018).
There is much evidence showing that family and genetics play a significant role in the etiology of depression. Over 80% of cases of chronic depression are hereditary. Even though that is the case, most of the genes do not necessarily lead to the disorder as they are not strong enough to act alone to lead to the disease's susceptibility. Even after the likelihood of inheritance, the influence of genes in unipolar disorder is less evident than a bipolar disorder (Gregor, 2018).
Depending upon the sickness's seriousness, depression essentially influences both the actual wellbeing and the personal satisfaction of affected people (Nemeroff, 2020).
It brings about adverse effects on working with the end goal that influenced people who cannot satisfy their social capacities and family works (Gregor, 2018).
By far, most of the exploration attempted on gloom and its relationship with different illnesses (particularly ongoing ailments) recommends that downturn increments both the danger of advancing various sicknesses and demolishing the forecast and building mortality (Nemeroff, 2020).
Despite research in neurophysiology and neuropsychiatry expanding the comprehension of the pathophysiology of depression, the exact mechanism(s) by which discouragement is created is fragmented. This is halfway because a downturn is a heterogeneous problem with a perplexing marvel and various likely etiologies (Gregor, 2018).

2. Identify and discuss specific resources or federal agencies that you will utilize to remain informed and current in public health trends and practices.
Public health entails collective actions to assure healthy conditions exist for people in the society through the utilization of a comprehensive public health framework and ten essential public health services (Nickitas et al., 2020). The framework consists of three core functions: assessment, policy development, and assurance.
Health Department (USDHHS) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are the leading public health agencies (Nickitas et al., 2020). They determine the essential public health services, provide data and resources on public health and current trends and initiatives. In addition, one can use databases to access information such as vital statistics for assessment purposes. Besides, the Institute of Medicine's Healthy People 2030 initiatives can be used to get an insight into current trends, areas of focus, and priorities.

In practice it is critical to stay current on clinical guidelines, regulations, research, and evidence-based recommendations (Clinical Resources for Nurse Practitioners (NPs), n.d.). In future practice I will use these websites among others to remain current.

Medical knowledge and guidelines are constantly evolving, necessitating that health practitioners have fast access to current, reputable clinical information. Evidence-based healthcare is critical for eliminating diagnostic mistakes and achieving better health outcomes. UpToDate is a major evidence-based clinical resource that is widely utilized in the United States and other parts of the world. It has been associated with decreased mortality and duration of stay in US hospitals (Valtis et al., 2016).

The CDC is a trusted source of credible scientific information, with a proven track record of pioneering science, evidence-based decision-making and action, global reference laboratories for emerging and pandemic diseases, and an experienced workforce comprised of subject-matter experts (n.d.).

For this chapter, I want you to focus on a significant person in your life that is NOT a member of your immediate family (no siblings or parents/grandparents). This can be a best friend, a spouse, a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a coworker. I want you to analyze your relationship using some of the concepts we covered in this chapter and answer the following questions. 1). How did you meet (and was proximity involved at all)? 2). Do you feel you are similar to this person, or do you think you are in that “opposites attract” arrangement (this is possible for pure friendships, too!). 3). What is the driving force behind your affiliation – is it biological, individual, or situational, and why (that is, describe that force)? Finally (but optionally!), if it is a love oriented relationship, which level do you think you are at (passionate, companionate, or consummate)? For your follow-up comment, use some of what you learn in this chapter to compare and contrast your own relationship with the relationship of another group member. Do you think they have a better strategy than you do for maintaining their relationship, or do you think you are the one who stumbled into the perfect relationship or friendship?

Discussion 2: Your Leadership Profile
Discussion 2: Your Leadership Profile
Do you believe you have the traits to be an effective leader? Perhaps you are already in a supervisory role, but as has been discussed previously, appointment does not guarantee leadership skills.
How can you evaluate your own leadership skills and behaviors? You can start by analyzing your performance in specific areas of leadership. In this Discussion, you will complete Gallup’s StrengthsFinder assessment. This assessment will identify your personal strengths, which have been shown to improve motivation, engagement, and academic self-conference. Through this assessment, you will discover your top five themes—which you can reflect upon and use to leverage your talents for optimal success and examine how the results relate to your leadership traits.
To Prepare:
Complete the StrengthsFinder assessment instrument, per the instructions found in this Module's Learning Resources.
Once you have completed your assessment, you will receive your “Top 5 Signature Themes of Talent” on your screen.
Reflect on the results of your Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.
Download your Signature Theme Report to submit for this Discussion.
Assignment:
Post a brief description of your results from the StrengthsFinder assessment. Then, briefly describe two core values, two strengths, and two characteristics that you would like to strengthen based on the results of your StrengthsFinder assessment.
Be specific.

Prepare a plan to design functions that encompass scoping a program
Prepare a plan to design functions that encompass scoping a program or developing procedures, processes, and architectures that guide work execution at the program and/or system level). For this assignment instructions, please see below:
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
See this Web Site: http://www.faulkner.com.ezproxy2.apus.edu/products/securitymgt and read the Geoff Keston article titled "Developing A Security Communications Plan".
According to Keston (2013), "A mark of a mature security communications program is the shift away from one-time messages, such as ad hoc emails. Such messages are easily forgotten and are often hard to find after a few weeks. A good security communications plan will include sending updates and alerts as well as maintaining a repository of documentation. Creating such a repository (or a consolidated document) makes information easier to find, and it helps to link together disparate elements into a unified plan."
For the purpose of this assignment, you are tasked as the Cybersecurity Director to prepare a Security Communications Plan for execution at the program level. You are to develop a security communications plan for your organization that addresses the handling of all communications related to security. Follow the requirements below:
REQUIREMENTS:
1. 5 Pages in length in APA format (not including a cover page and reference section)
2. Cover Page
3. Develop a comprehensive security plan that does the following:
- Identify archiving procedures
- Establish approval processes for sending communications
- Describe legal and regulatory requirements
- Define key terms
- Define severity levels and message types
- Using the definitions of severity levels and message types, diagram who receives messages and through what means they receive them (e.g., text messages)
- The plan will address the concerns of many constituents, including executives, IT staff members, and end users, as well as customers and partners. Each group has somewhat different needs, so it is helpful to structure a plan to protect sensitive information from the entire group and to make targeted information easy for its audience to find.
4. Reference Section
- Your references should not be more than 5 years old
