HME IA Strategy Proposal


Please provide an in depth Information Assurance strategy for the background company Heavy Metal Engineering (HME). HME is a manufacturing organization that creates metal shell casings for very high-end washer and dryer products has suppliers and customers world-wide, as well as world-wide offices.

HME is looking to receive some significant third party funding for an international joint venture but was told they would be denied because they do not have any kind of Information Assurance plan to keep all data assets secure.  You are required to create a comprehensive IA strategy that includes the following:

A detailed overview of what Information Assurance entails covering all the basics for an IA strategy (what will be protected and from what)

A plan or strategy for IA implementation including a framework

A complete risk mitigation strategy that completely outlines your plans to mitigate risks associated with operating in the 21st century workplace.

Select an accrediting body to ensure IA is not only a process but a part of organizational culture going forward

An incident response and disaster recovery plan in the event of intrusion and disaster

All sections should be clearly labeled and a separate section in each area specifically for justifications of your selection/proposal.

The proposal project IA must be in APA format 12-15 pages long (cover page and references not included). Provide at least 8 additional credible sources and using the 2 listed below; with a total of at least 10 sources.
