MIS607 Cybersecurity Assessment

Assessment Task and Context
The goal of this assessment is to identify the threats or vulnerabilities in the case scenario
described in the associated file, Assessment Initial Case Scenario.docx. NOT all threats or
vulnerabilities you “discover” are in the initial case scenario. “Discovery” of threats is important.
For each threat you need to indicate how it would be discovered in a business and in three cases,
expand with a viable explanation of discovery, with small relevant details of an interview or
survey, etc.

You should use this assessment brief document to guide what to include in this assessment and
use the provided case study to help demonstrate understanding of the topic.

Instructions
To successfully complete this assessment, your MIS607 Assessment 2 MUST include:
The reportshould have the following heading structure.

 
Title page
The title page should include subject code and name, assessment number, report title,
assessment due date, word count (actual), student name and surname, student ID,
Torrens’s email address, learning facilitator name and surname.

Executive Summary
The best time to write the Executive Summary is when you have finished working on your
assessment. Top-level executives often only read the executive summary, so it is a brief
summary of what was done with a very brief overview of major results.

1. Introduction
Since you already have an executive summary, this can be quite brief. You will need to
provide a short description of the case organization. Overall, the introduction section is
about “What the assessment is going to be about?”

2. Main Discussion
IMPORTANT NOTE: The required discussions for sub-sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 are
discussed earlier in this assessment brief document (see above).

2.1.Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs)
The DFDs must relate to the business described in the initial case scenario. You must
remember that the DFDs are the FIRST step in the “Risk Analysis” process, and so they
are not the main output of this assessment. The main output of MIS607 Assessment 2
is the categorized threats (see below).
For the DFD section of your report, you will need to present at least a “Context
Diagram” (level-0) and a “Level-1 Diagram” (DFD). You can include further levels of
DFD (e.g., Level-2, Level-3, etc.) if you feel they are needed to show a trust boundary,
but it’s not necessary.
The level-1 diagram (and further level diagrams, if needed) must not break the rule
for proper DFD formation/development. And the DFDs (excluding the Context
Diagram) MUST have labelled trust boundaries.
You MUST use the symbol conventions shown below:

2.2. Threat List, Threat Discovery, and STRIDE Categorisation
For the threat list you should have a table of at least 10 threats with at least the
following headings: threat brief name, brief description, brief discovery technique,
STRIDE category, trust boundary, and whatever else may be handy. Make the table
as readable as possible.

After the table, you need to expand on at least three of the threats (one of these
must be the main threat mentioned in the case). These should be related to research
material. You should also go into some explanation of how you discovered the threat

(as if you found them within the organization).You need to discuss the other seven
threats in brief(2-3 lines at least)

3. Conclusion
In this section, you will wrap up your discussion in a clear and simple way. Overall, the
conclusion section reminds the reader what the report/assessment has been about. Indicate
and discuss the major findings and/or recommendation of your report.
