...| Administrative Controls | | | Administrative controls are basically directives from the senior management that provide the essential framework for the organizations security infrastructure. Administrative controls consist of the procedures that are implemented to define the roles, responsibilities, policies and various administrative functions that are required to manage the control environment as well as necessary to oversee and manage the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the organizations information assets. Administrative controls can range from very specific to very broad and can vary depending on the organizational needs, particular industry, and legal implications. Administrative controls can generally be broken down into six major categories which include operational policies and procedures, personnel security, evaluation, and clearances, security policies, monitoring, user management, and privilege management. Ultimately, the senior management within an organization must decide what role security will play within the organization and define the security goals and directives. Due care by definition is the care that an ordinary and reasonable person would take over their own property or information. An example of this would for a person to place documents that contain sensitive information such as social security cards, passports, etc. in a locked safe within their home. This measure is taken to ensure that only those individuals with authorized...

...Administrative Controls Paper 1. How do Administrative Controls demonstrate "due care?" Administrative controls demonstrate “due care” because they are controls that meet a standard considered reasonable by most organizations that share similar backgrounds or work environments. Administrative controls that meet the standard of “due care” generally are easily achievable for an acceptable cost and reinforce the security policy of the organization. They must include controls that contribute to individual accountability, auditability, and separation of duties. Administrative controls define the human factors of security and involve all levels of personnel within an organization. They determine which users have access to what organizational resources and data. Administrative controls can be broken down into two categories: preventive administrative controls and detective administrative controls. Preventive administrative controls are techniques designed to control personnel’s behavior to assure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of organizational information. Some examples of preventive administrative controls are: security awareness and technical training, separation of duties, disaster preparedness and recovery plans, terminating and recruiting procedures, and user registration for computer access. 2.

...How do Administrative Controls demonstrate “due care?” First, the definition of “due care” is the care that a reasonable man would exercise under the circumstances; the standard for determining legal duty. In the case of an information system, due care is a legal yardstick used to examine whether an organization took reasonable precautions to protect the Confidence, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) of an information system in a court of law. Organizations use Administrative Controls whereas management creates policies, standards and guidelines as well as a training and enforcement programs to ensure that the policies, standards and guidelines are being followed in order to protect the CIA of information within their information system. A lack of administrative controls suggests that management is negligent in understanding its responsibility to protect the information system usually contributing to theft, loss, or aid of a crime. How does the absence of Administrative Controls impact corporate liability? I feel that the absence of Administrative Controls would have a negative impact on corporate liability. If an organization handles Personal Identity Information (PII), whether personal, financial, or medical, they are legally responsible for the safe keeping of this information. Not having administrative controls in place to safeguard this information, an organization could be held liable should theft, loss or aid of a crime occur. Legislative actions such as the Gramm-Leach-Blailey...

...Administrative Controls How do Administrative Controls Demonstrate Due Care Administrative controls entail several items including procedures, written policies, specific principles, guidelines, and trainings that are established to control the actions of individuals. Administrative controls actually classify the human factors of security and encompass every level of personnel within a company. This is how access is decided for every user; it’s based on the needs of the business. In terms of due care, this is a reflection of responsibility a company has taken for their actions within their company to provide the necessary protection. Due care is evident through specific controls established to confirm management is cognizant of the activities in their company. For example, I work for a healthcare company and controls are set in place to block all social networking sites from being accessed on the company network. This provides protection for the employees from accessing non-company related materials and it decreases the company’s chances malicious activity caused by accessing those sites. We also participate in employee trainings, which is also considered an administrative control. This is considered due care because we are trained to understand policies and procedures. When we start all training sessions, there are forms we have to complete stating that we are entering a specific course and we receive documentation at the end of the training session to reflect we...

...State the administrative agency which controls the regulation. Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? The administrative agency that controls this regulation is the Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives Bureau (The ATF), whose parent agency is the Department of Justice. This agency and its proposed regulation interests me because I am a supporter of the second amendment and I am opposed of any regulations that seek to limit the second amendment. I do not own any firearms, nor do I expect to receive any firearms in the immediate future, but my fiance’s father owns many firearms and, in the future, when he passes away, those guns are likely to be transferred to her and this legislation will affect that transfer by requiring the receiver of those firearms to verify that they are a “responsible person” This regulation will not affect the business in which I am working. That business is Verizon Wireless, which does not deal in any firearms (at least to my knowledge). I am interested in this subject from a purely academic point of view. Describe the proposal/change. This regulation would require a person legally receiving a firearm (ostensibly someone receiving it as a gift or as part of an inheritance) to prove that they are a “responsible person”, furthermore this “responsible person” would have to complete a form and submit photographs and...

Explain why this agency and your proposed regulation interests you (briefly). Will this proposed regulation affect you or the business in which you are working? If so, how? I chose the Department of Public Safety, Division 45: Missouri Gaming Commission, Chapter 5: Conduct of Gaming. One of the many benefits Casinos love to share is that money from their profits will go to a public school fund. 2. Describe the proposal/change. The Gaming Commission is proposing an amendment to 11 CSR 45-5.051, Minimum Standards for Blackjack. The amendment will allow a floor supervisor (Pit-Boss) may direct the dealer to shuffle the cards after any round of play is completed and all wagers have been resolved. It won’t affect me directly but depending on how the Pit-Boss uses this internal control method, it could help or harm the Fund that is generated for Public Schools. Shuffling the cards in the middle is a deck is used to stop the current momentum. If the player(s) at the table are hot then this can break a streak that is cutting into the Casino’s profits. In this case it’s a win for the Public School Fund. 3. Write the public comment which you would submit to this proposal.
