Suggestion This assignment is developmental and cumulative. You are strongly advised to
start doing this assignment from Week-4 in your study. Leaving your starting
date to the week before the due date is a very poor strategy for success in the unit.
Task Description
You are a cybersecurity consultant working for one of the big-4 consulting firms. In your client
portfolio you have the choice of working on a cybersecurity program for the following clients;
an educational institute (such as a university), a small-to-medium sized business (SME), and a
division of large business/government organisation. You are to choose one client.
As part of your work for the client, you have chosen you are required to provide a client report
that explains the importance of cybersecurity risk assessments. To successfully write this report,
you must complete the following tasks:
• Task 1: discuss why risk assessment is the most critical step in developing and managing
cyber security in the organisation and identify any limitations of the current risk assessment
methods.
• Task 2: create five questions that will identify the most critical information assets of the
organisation and justify how the five questions you have created achieve this. For example,
you could assume that an organisation website is one of the most critical information assets
of the organisation. Create a WFA template to rank the top five assets.
• Task 3: identify the top five threats to the organisation information assets. Support your
findings by referencing reputable sources of information.
• Task 4: Discuss how the top five threats identified in Task 3 could/could not impact the
asset. Rank the threats and define the risk values based on their likelihood of exposure and
levels of impact (potential consequences) on the asset. Support your discussion by quoting
reputable sources of information. You are free to make any assumption(s) you wish
regarding the organisation structure, mission, vision, business profile, etc. which will need
to be documented in the appropriate sections of your report.

Format, Presentation and length
There is no report template to be used in this assignment, so you can design your own template or
refer to online resources. However, the report should be well presented in a standard report
format.
Due to the system setting constraint, the report 1 length was set with 1000 words in the unit UIG.
You are advised that there is no formal word limit for the report. However, a good report is
expected to be somewhere in the vicinity of 2,000 - 3,000 words from Introduction to Conclusion.
Note that this is a very rough estimate and there will be no penalties imposed based on the number
of words (no real ceiling if the content is precise and relevant!)
Assignment-1 marking rubric
The following marking rubric will be used for the marking of your submission. It contains a detailed breakdown of the marking criteria for this assignment.

Submission Format
When you have completed the assignment, you are required to submit your assignment in
the DOC format. The file will be named using the following convention:
filename = FirstInitialYourLastName_CMP71001_A1_S3_2019.doc (i.e.
DJones_CMP71001_A1_S3_2019.doc)
Original Work
It is a University requirement that a student’s work complies with the Academic Integrity
Policy. It is a student’s responsibility to be familiar with the Policy.
Failure to comply with the Policy can have severe consequences in the form of University
sanctions. For information on this Policy please refer to Student Academic Integrity policy
at the following website:
http://policies.scu.edu.au/view.current.php?id=00141
As part of a University initiative to support the development of academic integrity,
assessments may be checked for plagiarism, including through an electronic system, either
internally or by a plagiarism checking service, and be held for future checking and
matching purposes.
A Turnitin link has been set up to provide you with an opportunity to check the
originality of your work until your due date. Please make sure you review the report
generated by the system and make changes (if necessary!) to minimise the issues of
improper citation or potential plagiarism. If you fail to follow this step, your report
may not be graded or may incur late feedback.
Retain Duplicate Copy
Before submitting the assignment, you are advised to retain electronic copies of original
work. In the event of any uncertainty regarding the submission of assessment items, you
may be requested to reproduce a final copy.
School Extension Policy
In general, I will NOT give extension unless where there are exceptional circumstances.
Students wanting an extension must make a request at least 24 hours before the assessment
item is due and the request must be received in writing by the unit assessor or designated
academic through student service (please visit https://www.scu.edu.au/currentstudents/student-administration/special-consideration/
for details). Extensions within 24
hours of submission or following the submission deadline will not be granted (unless
supported by a doctor’s certificate or where there are exceptional circumstances – this will
be at unit assessor’s discretion and will be considered on a case by case basis). Extensions
will be for a maximum of 48 hours (longer extensions supported by a doctor’s certificate
or alike to be considered on a case by case basis).

A penalty of 5% of the total available grade will accrue for each 24-hour period that an
assessment item is submitted late. Therefore, an assessment item worth 20 marks will have
1 mark deducted for every 24-hour period and at the end of 20 days will receive 0 marks.
Students who fail to submit following the guidelines in this Unit Information Guide will
be deemed to have not submitted the assessment item and the above penalty will be
applied until the specified submission guidelines are followed.
Marks and Feedback
All assessment materials submitted during the semester will normally be marked and
returned within two weeks of the required date of submission (provided that the
assessment materials have been submitted by the due date).
Marks will be made available to each student via the MySCU Grade book.
