1. IT 659 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
In Milestone Three you will submit the Recommendations and
Global Considerations portion of the final project. The purpose
of this assignment is to suggest
relevant changes to the organization itself and changes to the
ethical guidelines that could have prevented the incident.
Prompt: Suggest relevant changes to the organization itself and
changes to the ethical guidelines that could have prevented the
incident. Standards external to
the organization that may have helped prevent the incident
should also be proposed. This assignment will also address
international compliance standards and
how they would have been relevant to the incident. The impact
of the incident on global communication and commerce will be
analyzed, as well as the impact on
the global technology environment.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
IV. Recommendations
a) Propose relevant changes to the organization that may have
prevented the incident. How would these changes have helped to
prevent the
occurrence?
b) Propose reasonable ethical guidelines that could have helped
prevent the incident and that might help the organization
prevent future incidents.

2. Propose changes to the standards external to the organization
that might have helped prevent the incident. This can include
changes to
regulations and regulatory and ethical standards that might exist
today but did not exist or were not properly delivered at the
time of the
incident. Be sure to support your conclusions.
V. Global Considerations
a) What international compliance standards (either at the time
of the incident or today) would have been relevant to the
incident, and how? If your
company is not global, imagine that is.
b) Analyze the impact of the incident on global communication
and commerce (again, if your organization is not global,
imagine otherwise). In
other words, what impact did (or would) the incident have on
views and use of information technology and communication in
global contexts?
c) Global Technology Environment: Based on your research and
analysis of this case, determine the global legal and regulatory
impacts this case
had on the information technology overall. In other words,
determine the relationship between this case and the global
regulatory standards
that are now in place, will be put in place shortly, or should be
put in place as a result of this or related incident(s).

IT 659 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
In Milestone Two, you will submit the Case Analysis and
Incident Impacts portion of the final project. The purpose of
this assignment is to analyze the case and
determine the impact of the incident.
Prompt: Analyze the ethical issues and determine the legal
compliance issues within the organization, as well as the social

10. and cultural impacts of these
compliance issues. You will be expected to address the impact
the incident may have had on the ethical and legal IT
regulations at the time. The connection
between the industry standards and the standards for
informational technology should be determined, as well as the
influence of the cultural impact on IT and
cyber communication or commerce.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
II. Case Analysis

organization that may have led to the incident. What are these
issues and why do you
credit them for the incident?
b) Determine legal compliance issues within the organization
that may have led to the incident or could lead to future
incidents. Were there any
legal and ethical standards in existence at the time that were not
followed by the organization? What were these issues and how
did they impact
the organization?
c) Determine the societal and cultural impact of these
compliance issues. Some things to consider in your assessment
include specific targeting of
demographic groups, victimization of certain customers, and so
on.
III. Incident Impact

11. a) Determine the impact this incident may have had on the
ethical and legal IT regulations of the time. If there were no
direct results of this case,

or similar cases? What is your reasoning?
b) Determine the connection between the industry standards and
the standards in existence for information technology.
Specifically, determine if
the organization was lacking in either industry-specific or IT-
specific alignment with regulations that may have contributed to
the incident, and
provide support for your conclusions. For example,
misalignment with HIPAA laws in healthcare is an industry-
specific deviation from standards.
c) Cultural Impact: Analyze the influence this incident may
have had on various cultural attitudes toward IT and cyber
communication or
commerce. In other words, how could this incident impact views
of information technology use?

IT 659 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an

22. information technology incident report.
Successful management in information technology requires
knowledge of the legal and ethical environment. Globalization,
increasing commerce between
graphical locations brought on by the ability to connect online,
and the increasing mix of cultures bring additional complexity
to the considerations of law and
ethics in cyber security and information technology (IT). The
final project for this course will require you to research a recent
(within the last five years) incident
or event in the field of IT, e-commerce, or cyber security in the
context of the legal and ethical standards of that time period.
You will identify the issues the
organization(s) had, recommend changes for that
organization(s), and write a report that highlights your recent
analysis, findings, and recommendations.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be
submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold
learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules
Two, Four, and Seven. The final submission will occur in
Module Nine.
In this assignment you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
circumstances, business models, and information technology
issues
technology for their impact to organizations, society, and
culture

23. ensure legal and ethical cyber practice and behavior
and regulatory standards within information technology
issues related to global communication on information
technology
Prompt
You will select a recent or current incident from the public
record and analyze the case to identify the issues that led to the
incident. What recommendations can
you make to ensure the incident will not occur again? What
were the results of the incident? And, finally, what were the
cultural, societal, or global impacts of
this case and the subsequent changes to the legal environment?
Please note: Your selection will need to be submitted and
approved by the instructor.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction
a) Apply cyberlaw and security principles to the business, e-
commerce, and e-communication industries. What purpose does
the application of
cyber principles serve for these industries?
b) Summarize the selected case, including the necessary
organizational information, industry, problem, and time period
of the incident.

24. II. Case Analysis
a) Analyze the case to determine the ethical issues within the
organization that may have led to the incident. What are these
issues and why do
you credit them for the incident?
b) Determine legal compliance issues within the organization
that may have led to the incident or could lead to future
incidents. Were there any
legal and ethical standards in existence at the time that were not
followed by the organization? What were these issues and how
did they impact
the organization?
c) Determine the societal and cultural impact of these
compliance issues. Some things to consider in your assessment
include specific targeting of
demographic groups, victimization of certain customers, and so
on.
III. Incident Impact
a) Determine the impact this incident may have had on the
ethical and legal IT regulations of the time. If there were no
direct results of this case,
what may have been the indirect impact and/or what was the
impact of similar cases? For example, what regulatory changes
resulted from this
or similar cases? What is your reasoning?

25. b) Determine the connection between the industry standards and
the standards in existence for information technology.
Specifically, determine if
the organization was lacking in either industry-specific or IT-
specific alignment with regulations that may have contributed to
the incident, and
provide support for your conclusions. For example,
misalignment with HIPAA laws in healthcare is an industry-
specific deviation from standards.
c) Cultural Impact: Analyze the influence this incident may
have had on various cultural attitudes toward IT and cyber
communication or
commerce. In other words, how could this incident impact views
of information technology use?
IV. Recommendations
a) Propose relevant changes to the organization that may have
prevented the incident. How would these changes have helped to
prevent the
occurrence?
b) Propose reasonable ethical guidelines that could have helped
prevent the incident and that might help the organization
prevent future
incidents.
c) Propose changes to the standards external to the organization
that might have helped prevent the incident. This can include
changes to
regulations and regulatory and ethical standards that might exist
today but did not exist or were not properly delivered at the
time of the

26. incident. Be sure to support your conclusions.
V. Global Considerations
a) What international compliance standards (either at the time
of the incident or today) would have been relevant to the
incident, and how? If
your company is not global, imagine that is.
b) Analyze the impact of the incident on global communication
and commerce (again, if your organization is not global,
imagine otherwise). In
other words, what impact did (or would) the incident have on
views and use of information technology and communication in
global contexts?
c) Global Technology Environment: Based on your research and
analysis of this case, determine the global legal and regulatory
impacts this case
had on the information technology overall. In other words,
determine the relationship between this case and the global
regulatory standards
that are now in place, will be put in place shortly, or should be
put in place as a result of this or related incident(s).
VI. Summary: Given your knowledge of cyberlaw principles,
ethical needs, and legal compliance standards, summarize how
you applied these principles to
your analysis of the case. In other words, how did you apply
cyberlaw principles to the circumstances, business model, and
IT issues that the selected

27. organization faced?
