...Introduction: Information security continuous monitoring (ISCM) is defined as maintaining ongoing awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats to support organizational risk management decisions. This publication specifically addresses assessment and analysis of security control effectiveness and of organizational security status in accordance with organizational risk tolerance. Security control effectiveness is measured by correctness of implementation and by how adequately the implemented controls meet organizational needs in accordance with current risk tolerance. Organizational security status is determined using metrics established by the organization to best convey the security posture of an organization’s information and information systems, along with organizational resilience given known threat information. This necessitates: • Maintaining situation awareness of all systems across the organization; • Maintaining an understanding of threats and threat activities; • Assessing all security controls; • Collecting, correlating, and analyzing security-related information; • Providing actionable communication of security status across all tiers of the organization; and • Active management of risk by organizational officials. Purpose: The purpose of this guideline is to assist organizations in the development of an ISCM strategy and the implementation of an ISCM program that provides awareness of threats and vulnerabilities, visibility...

I have been coaching travel baseball teams for PBI the last 6 years and understand the business very well. The great thing about this company is the indoor facility they currently have. It is over 17K square feet and is the only one of its kind in northern Illinois. The current owner is never in the building and has proved over time that he is not wanting to run this business anymore. I decided last December to reach out to the current owner and see if he is looking to sell his business and he was very much on board. Although I have not purchased the company yet I would like to start preparing as if I am going to do just that. Now the process of purchasing a company is a very large project with many risks I want to turn my attention to the process of change needed once I do take over the company.

...BA 562 Risk Management Plan Project: MBA Program Branch in Portland Section: Wed 9:00 am Team Member: Menghui Lin, Yu Chen, Jun Yang and Xiaoyi Ji Introduction Based on the success of MBA program in Corvallis (OSU main campus), we are planning to establish the MBA program branch in Portland. It will be a good choice to expand our MBA program in Portland because Portland is the biggest city in Oregon and there are a lot of business corporations which can provide many potential business opportunities. The primary objective of our project is to get more students involving our MBA program, build a high quality education program and improve the influence of OSU in the whole Oregon, no matter in education or in the business realm. Meanwhile, we must admit that there are several potential risks we will face in implementing the practical program. There is more specific information and analysis as follow. Risk Identification Through the analysis of the whole parts of the new program, we identify the following risks: competition risk, financial problem, teaching quality and reputation impairment. OSU is not the only one who provides MBA programs in Portland. So it may face the fiercely competition with other school like Portland State University. And starting a new program in Portland that is far away from the main campus, the program may need a lot of money to operate. The financial problem is the core that decides the normal operation of the MBA program in Portland...

...Risk Management Plan Everyone faces risk whether it is in everyday life or in the workforce. There are many risks associated with owning a business. Many new businesses fail because they don’t have an effective risk management plan in place. Risk is defined as “an uncertainty concerning the occurrence of a loss” (Rejda, page 2). Owners when first starting a business prioritize what needs to be done first, without thinking about a risk management plan. The type of business that I would like to own someday would be a coffee shop. The reason I would choose a coffee shop is because I am passionate about coffee. I am very particular on the coffee grounds I use, the smells, and I am always inventing new recipes that I like to share with family. There are many risks associated with running a coffee shop though. Risks can be internal and external. Risk management can affect many aspects of a business. If a business owner can identify internal risks within a business they can be controlled. Internal risks that I would face as the owner of a coffee shop would include human risks, theft, and breakdown of equipment. Human risk can include employees or I as the owner becoming ill and not being able to perform the assigned job duties. Having employees also will increase the chances for employee theft. Theft can include cash, product, and wages. Another internal risk that I would face would be with the equipment. Equipment will breakdown and will need to be fixed or replaced...

...Project Part 1 Task 1: Risk Management Plan EC-Council University Introduction A risk management plan (RMP) is important to the DLIS and DLA because it will help us to identify and mitigate IT risks before they become catastrophic issues. This RMP will outline the objectives of the DLIS, the risks associated with the DLIS IT infrastructure, quantify these risks, develop a response plan to these risks by identifying roles and responsibilities of individuals, and control these risks. Controlling the risks that have been identified will happen in one of two methods: establish a reserve by allocating risk contingencies for known risks or through the continuous monitoring established as part of this plan. Outline for RMP 1) Identify the objectives of the DLIS a) Organizational financial goals b) Organizational risk acceptance levels c) Organizational business goals 2) Identify risks d) Identify potential risks to the DLIS infrastructure e) Review previous RMP’s for identified risks and their priority levels 3) Develop a Response Plan f) Define each risk, to include probability and potential negative impact g) Identify roles and responsibilities of individuals and organizations to mitigate risks 4) Quantify Each Risk Identified h) Identify high cost objectives i) Identify high cost mitigation techniques j) Identify high loss critical infrastructure 5) Control Risk k) Establish Reserve ...

...RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN PROJECT: Re-design County Animal Shelter PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY: This County is in need of a re-developed animal shelter. My project entails redesigning the local animal shelter by making it more efficient and safer for the shelter animals and staff. The building is over thirty years old and is in need of a lot of reconstruction to make it a safe environment and something that will ensure disease protection to all the animals at the shelter. PROJECT MANAGER: Michael Pastore DATE: September 29, 2011 Risk Identification I have made a list of all areas that might cause project delays or failure with their respective outcomes (see numerical list below). The five risks I have chosen as key risks are bolded below and appear in the Risk Assessment Table. 1. Delay in getting appropriate permits approved. Department Form # AW-1 needs approved, IACUC inspection for animal safety and welfare needed as well. 2. Delay in caging material and other needed materials for project completion. This is lack of needed items to re-build shelter cages inside and outside. 3. Weather issues causing delay in outside work. This could cause construction delays on the roof and the outside fencing area. 4. Cost risk-over budget. This would include running out of money to fund the entire project if more money is needed. This is a non-profit organization and the amount of funding is being donated to re-design the shelter. 5. Equipment delay. Equipment...

We are going to go over these and how we will mitigate the risks from a high risk to a lower risk.
