Hands-On Steps
1. From your computer workstation, create a new text document called Compliance Lab #4.
2. Review the following scenario:
Your organization is a governmental agency that serves a vital role in homeland security functions.
In fact, your hiring took longer than you would have liked because it seemed as though the organization’s
managers wanted to know a lot about you before they gave you clearance to work. After a year
at the job, your manager feels your progress has come a long way, so she is giving you more responsibility
and has asked you to analyze the benefits of reporting risks, threats, and vulnerabilities in an IT
assessment that is under way. Your manager would like for you to conduct research and report your
findings about the type of vulnerabilities that require disclosure and when it is lawful or unlawful to
conceal information produced by vulnerability assessments. She would also like for you to include
some trends on current security threats and the types of responsible disclosure being performed by
other organizations.
