A detailed cybersecurity analysis for mock company Strife.
System Security Plans (SSP) Exercise: Select a system (e.g., a web application) and outline the security controls you would implement. Document these controls in an SSP format. Resources: NIST SP 800-18 for SSP templates and guidelines.
Security Assessment Reports (SAR) Exercise: Conduct a mock security assessment on a chosen system or network. Identify vulnerabilities and document your findings in a SAR. Resources: NIST SP 800-30 for guidelines on conducting risk assessments.
Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) Exercise: Based on your SAR, create a POA&M document detailing the steps needed to remediate identified vulnerabilities, including timelines and resources. Resources: NIST SP 800-37 for POA&M templates and examples.
Security Control Traceability Matrix (SCTM) Exercise: Create an SCTM for your mock system, mapping security controls to specific regulatory requirements or standards. Resources: NIST SP 800-53 for control families and CNSSI 1253 for traceability examples.
Incident Response Documentation Exercise: Develop an incident response plan for a hypothetical security incident (e.g., a data breach). Outline the detection, response, mitigation, and recovery steps. Resources: NIST SP 800-61 for incident response guidelines and templates.
Policies and Procedures Exercise: Write security policies and procedures for your mock organization, covering areas like access control, data protection, and incident management. Resources: ISO/IEC 27002 for information security policies and procedures.
Compliance and Audit Reports Exercise: Simulate an internal audit of your mock system. Compile a report demonstrating compliance with relevant standards (e.g., NIST, ISO). Resources: NIST SP 800-53A for audit and assessment procedures.
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans Exercise: Develop a disaster recovery and business continuity plan for your mock organization. Include strategies for backup, recovery, and maintaining operations during a disruption. Resources: NIST SP 800-34 for disaster recovery and business continuity planning.
