his is the only/last shot I have in keeping my job with “Thumbtack.com”, where I’m a Life-Coach (which includes the titles of Therapist, Counselor, and Spiritual Counselor – all of which I have extensive experience and a strong, natural talent for). However, whenever I quote a client who posts on Thumbtack, I am always passed over. My quotes have grown stronger, but I lack the ability to write concisely and effortlessly as all of my competition, and all of whom have dozens of reviews, pictures, and full summaries to supplement their quotes. However, I will make a profound stride forward if I can truly impress with this essay – not only with it’s footnotes, research, professionalism, and so much more, but because I myself suffered excruciatingly w/ social phobia, serious depression, weight problems, extreme anxiety, and emotioanl trauma during all 4 years of high school. Yet, during college, I was able to adopt the best/most successful habits, and eventually shed all of my diagnoses… something many of my doctors are still scratching their heads over. Because I directly experienced all of these diagnoses/symptoms and eventually conquered them (I knew that I had no choice feeling suicidal ideation, so I literally put forth ALL of my determination and put into practice the most successful habits). Sooner than I thought, they slowly dissipated permanently. I don’t know if I should put this in this essay (unless you can do so convincingly, since this part is definitely true)…. Anyway, the whole key to this essay is to not only look ultra-professional and tip-topped researched, BUT TO CONVINCE.

Project 6 – Cloud Computing Security Policy

This week you will prepare a cloud security policy. The first CIO of the US mandated that cloud services be implemented in organizations whenever possible. Review the scenario below and prepare a cloud security policy for the organization. Complete the following section readings from “Challenging Security Requirements for US Government Cloud Computing Adoption,”

NIST Cloud Computing Public Security Working Group, NIST Cloud Computing Program,

Information Technology Laboratory, sections 1.1, 1.3, 1.6, 1.8, and 1.9; prior to starting your work on the policy:

PROCESS-ORIENTED SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

1.1 NIST SP 800-53 SECURITY CONTROLS FOR CLOUD-BASED INFORMATION SYSTEMS: page 10

1.3 CLOUD CERTIFICATION AND ACCREDITATION: page 17

1.6 CLARITY ON CLOUD ACTORS SECURITY ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: page 27

1.8 BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND DISASTER RECOVERY: page 31

1.9 TECHNICAL CONTINUOUS MONITORING CAPABILITIES: page 34

Background:

A small non-profit organization (SNPO-MC) has received a grant which will pay 90% of its cloud computing costs for a five year period. But, before it can take advantage of the monies provided by this grant, it must present an acceptable cloud computing security policy to the grant overseers.

Tasking:

You are a cybersecurity professional who is “on loan” from your employer, a management consulting firm, to a small non-profit organization (SNPO-MC). You have been tasked with researching requirements for a Cloud Computing Security Policy and then developing a draft policy for the non-profit organization, SNPO-MC. The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance to managers, executives, and cloud computing service providers. This new policy will supersede (replace) the existing Enterprise IT Security Policy which focuses exclusively upon enterprise security requirements for organization owned equipment (including database servers, Web and email servers, file servers, remote access servers, desktop computers, workstations, and laptop computers) and licensed software applications. The enterprise IT security policy also addresses incident response and disaster recovery.

As part of your policy development task you must take into consideration the issues list which was developed during brainstorming sessions by executives and managers in each of the three operating locations for the non-profit organization.

Your deliverable for this project is a 5 to 8 page, single spaced, professionally formatted draft policy. See the following resources for suggested formats.

Organization Profile:

The organization is headquartered in Boston, MA and has two additional operating locations (offices) in New Orleans, LA and San Francisco, CA. Approximately 50 employees work in a formal office setting at one of these locations. These employees use organization owned IT equipment. The remaining 1,000 staff members are volunteers who work from their home offices using personally owned equipment.

The organization provides a variety of management consulting services for its clients (charities and non-governmental organizations) on a fee for service basis. Fees are set on a sliding scale based upon the client’s ability to pay. The organization receives additional funding to support its administrative costs, including IT and IT security, through grants and donations from several Fortune 500 companies.

The non-profit organization is in the process of hiring its first Chief Information Officer. The organization has a small (3 person) professional IT staff that includes one information security specialist. These staff members are located in the Boston headquarters office.

Definitions:

Employees of the organization are referred to as employees.

Executives and other staff who are “on loan” from Fortune 500 companies are referred to as loaned staff members. Loaned staff members usually telework for the organization one to two days per week for a period of one year.

Volunteers who perform work for the organization are referred to as volunteer staff members. Volunteer staff members usually telework from their homes one to two days per week.

Discuss the nature and function of a price index, and describe the difference between nominal and real GDP, by answering the following questions:

1. Assume that nominal GDP for 2012 was $700B with a price index of 110 (using 2004 as the base year). What is the real GDP for 2012?

Remember: To compute the real GDP for any given year use this forrmula: Real GDP = Nominal GDP/Price Index x 100

2. Assume that nominal GDP for 2013 was $850B with a price index of 140 (using 2004 as the base year). What is the Real GDP for 2013?

Remember the fromula :Real GDP = Nominal GDP/Price Index x 100

3. Did real GDP increase or decrease from 2012 to 2013? If it decreased, explain why? Compare your answers form question (1) and (2) above and answer question (3).

4. Why do economists use real GDP, rather than nominal GDP, to measure economic growth?
