Remember as you complete this assessment that you can refer to industry standards and legislation as you documented in your answers to the Knowledge test.
Develop and administer a survey.
Select any one of the case studies from the simulation pack and follow the process below. Assume that to find out about cyber security awareness and practices, you are required to develop and administer a survey. The requirements for the survey are that it must:
include at least 10 questionsinclude questions that seek opinions about potential gaps in cyber security and practices as per the chosen case study.
be based on best practice survey designbe produced in the electronic system.
be secure to ensure cyber security standards.
Once your survey is complete, you must provide it to the assessor and 3 other stakeholders (stakeholder role could be played by other students) related to the case study for completion. In the introduction to the survey, explain how you have ensured the survey is secure.
Once they provide you with their completed surveys, review the results and document your findings in your project portfolio.
Create a cyber security awareness program.
You are to create a cyber security awareness program using the results of your survey to identify gaps in awareness and practices. This can be in the form of a presentation such as a PowerPoint Presentation or any other similar presentation software.
You are also to review the latest cyber security threats and trends that impact businesses and weave these into your program.
Your program must include reference to a range of cyber security matters, a minimum of two.
Your program should reflect best practices in cyber security.
You are to also assume that based on your findings from your survey and research that you have decided to develop one set of policy and procedures focussing on a particular aspect of cyber security of your choice.
Use the policy and procedures format in the Student Resources folder. As a guide your policy and procedures should be 1 2 pages.
In the next activity you will be presenting your program and policy and procedures as part of a training program.
Your assessor will role play as cyber security policy approver and you are to arrange a suitable date and time for the policy approver to present your training program.

Any gaps that you still think exist in your awareness about cyber security awareness and practices and the impact these gaps might have on a workplace.
Feedback regarding the program that you delivered (you will receive the feedback after the presentation from the policy approver).
Improvements that should be made to cyber security practices based on your learnings from your own research and analysis.
You will record the discussion above in your portfolio.
