...Week 2 Individual Assignment University of Phoenix – CMGT 430 In order to better serve Riordan Manufacturing’s information security infrastructure, a solid plan must be put in place to ensure that the approach to its implementation is logical, easy to follow, and effective. Many aspects must be considered when formulating an information security policy, including the needs of the company vs. best practice, thus striking a delicate balance between both variables. Therefore Smith Systems Consulting is dedicated to ensuring that a quality service is delivered that will meet these objectives. However, before a more comprehensive plan can be put into place, it is important that Smith Systems Consulting understands exactly how the security plan will be managed, and how to enforce it on the most basic level. It is therefore the opinion of our company to begin by defining a simple, yet utterly crucial part of Riordan’s base information security policy: separation of duties via the practice and implementation of role assignments. Separation of duties, in information technology, is the practice of dividing both IT staff and end users into managed groups, or roles. While users and IT staff, from an administrative level, may fall into several groups (ex., Accounting Department, Maintenance, Security, etc), these groups are not enough to enforce proper security policy. A more comprehensive approach is to define what the base access is for all of these groups, thus the use of roles....

In 1991 Dr. Riordan started Riordan Plastics, Inc. after he discovered the commercial power and economic benefits of his patents (University of Phoenix, 2004).

...Introduction Riordan Manufacturing, a Fortune 1000 enterprise wholly owned by Riordan Industries, uses its 550 employees to manage plastics products globally. In 1991, Dr. Riordan, a professor in chemistry, started Riordan Plastics to support the commercial applications for his patent. One year later the company was expanded to include a fan manufacturing plant in Pontiac, MI, and the name was changed to Riordan Manufacturing. An additional expansion in 1993 added a plastic beverage container production plant in Albany, GA. Most recently, the fan manufacturing operations moved from Michigan to a new plant in China in 2000. As the industry leader in the use of polymer materials, Riordan’s diverse customer base includes automotive parts manufacturers, appliance manufacturers, aircraft manufactures, the Department of Defense, and beverage makers and bottlers. Executive Summary Riordan has three plants based in Albany, Georgia, Pontiac, Michigan, a joint venture in Hangzhou, China, and a corporate headquarters in San Jose, California. Because each location has its own separate finance and accounting system, Team C finds that it will be feasible and cost-effective to find ways to combine the systems with a seamless compatibility by addressing the accounting department first. The other three areas of Riordan that are integral in sustainability and growth of the company are in need of attention as well. The departments that Team C proposes to improve with the implementation...
