Balanced Scorecard for Each Domain

• Select a control framework like COBIT 5 or ISO 27002.
• Choose 4-5 key domains from the chosen framework (e.g., Access Control, Security Incident and Event Management, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery).
• For each domain, create a balanced scorecard with objectives aligned to the vision and mission. Each objective should have:
  • Perspective: (e.g., Financial, Customer, Internal Process)
  • Objective: A specific, measurable target related to information security. (e.g., Reduce data breach incidents by 20% within one year)
  • Metrics: Quantifiable measures to track progress towards the objective. (e.g., Number of data breach incidents, Time to remediate security incidents)
  • Targets: Specific, achievable goals for each metric. (e.g., Less than 5 data breach incidents, Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) within 48 hours)

3. Control Framework and Major Security Areas

• Briefly explain the chosen control framework (COBIT or ISO 27002) and its benefits.
• Identify the major security areas you will assess based on the framework. This should cover areas identified in the balanced scorecard objectives. (e.g., User access management procedures, Incident response plan effectiveness, Business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities)

4. SWOT Analysis

• Conduct a SWOT analysis to identify BCC’s internal strengths and weaknesses, and external opportunities and threats related to information security. (e.g., Strengths: Strong employee security awareness training, Weaknesses: Outdated security infrastructure, Opportunities: Implementing cloud-based security solutions, Threats: Increasing cyberattacks on similar organizations)

5. Security Initiatives

• Based on the SWOT analysis, identify at least three security initiatives that address weaknesses, leverage strengths, and capitalize on opportunities.
• Each initiative should be linked to specific objectives in the balanced scorecard. (e.g., Initiative: Upgrade server infrastructure to enhance security. Objective: Reduce the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data.)

6. Operational Action Plan

• For each security initiative, create a detailed action plan with the following:
  • Initiative Description: A clear explanation of the initiative
  • Tasks: Specific actions required to implement the initiative. (e.g., Conduct a security risk assessment, Develop a budget for infrastructure upgrade)
  • Resource Allocation: Assign ownership and responsibility for each task.
  • Timeline: Set realistic deadlines for completing each task.
  • Budget: Estimate the costs associated with the initiative.

Part 2: Microsoft® PowerPoint® Presentation

1. Introduction

• Briefly introduce BCC and the purpose of the presentation.

2. Information Security Vision and Mission

• Clearly present BCC’s information security vision and mission.

3. Balanced Scorecard Overview

• Briefly explain the concept of a balanced scorecard and its role in information security management.

4. Balanced Scorecard Details

• Select 2-3 key domains from the balanced scorecard and present them in detail.
• For each domain, highlight the objective, metrics, and targets.
• Use visuals like charts and graphs to represent data.

5. Security Initiatives

• Introduce the three security initiatives identified in the strategic plan.
• Briefly explain each initiative and its connection to the balanced scorecard objectives.

6. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Define at least three KPIs for each security initiative.
• Ensure the KPIs are aligned with the objectives and initiatives from the balanced scorecard.
• Explain how each KPI will be measured and tracked. (e.g., KPI for Upgrade server infrastructure initiative: Percentage of servers meeting security compliance standards)

7. Conclusion

• Briefly summarize the key takeaways from the presentation.
• Reiterate the commitment to information security and its importance to BCC’s success.

Additional Tips:

• Use a consistent and professional design theme throughout the presentation.
• Include speaker notes for each slide to provide
