Assignment Scenario
High Level Requirements
 Meets Federal Security Requirements
 Meets a Minimum Level of Employee Satisfaction During Testing
 Implemented by Anticipated Completing Date
 At or Below Original Projected Budget Cost
 Your solution should include a sophisticated video surveillance infrastructure
 Access points should be controlled using multiple authentication methods at
least one of which must include biometrics
 Comprehensive reports must be provided monitoring all traffic 24x7x365
 Your process and data must be auditable
 Unauthorized access must result in immediate escalation and notification of
security, and a facility lockdown must be executed.
 All employees, new and existing will have extensive training on the new system
Approach
The key to this project will be meeting the regulations established by the federal government in
regard to biometric security. The approach for our project plan will be to understand the
requirements and outline a plan to meet those requirements. This plan will need to take into
Your firm has been missing out on a number of federal contract opportunities with the Defense
Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice because of your
inability to meet stringent federal security requirements around access control at your facilities.
Your security systems and procedures are manual (a combination of guards at primary access
points, antiquated combination locks, etc.) and prone to human error as well as abuse. Your
organization.

consideration the partnerships, technology, staff, risks, finances and communication necessary
for this project.
CEO/Upper-Level Management - Need the new security system to meet federal requirements so
that the company can bring in new contracts. Executives have their personal reputations on the
line.
Government Departments - Need to see that new security system meets federal requirements
and regulations so that they’re willing to give federal contracts to the company.
Employees - Will be affected daily by new security measures. Many employees are skeptical of
change and may be frustrated with complications of new security system.
Assumptions
The following assumptions were made;
1. Financial Resources will continue to be available during the course of the project.
2. Federal Regulations and Requirements will not change during the course of the project.
3. They’ll be no disruptive technological advancements during the course of the project.
Constraints
The following are factors that limit the project team’s options.
Strategic Partnerships
Regulatory Agencies
The federal agencies set the regulations that our security measures have to meet. In order to
meet these regulations, we will have to closely study the regulations and work closely with
federal staff to make sure we meet them.
Vendors
We will be partnering with several suppliers in order to procure all the equipment needed for the
new system. These partnerships will be critical for procurement and for timely delivery of
equipment.
Contractor
We will be hiring a contracting firm to install and implement the biometric equipment. This
partnership will be important to ensure proper and timely installation.

Financial Management
Direct Costs
• Biometric capture hardware and software
• Back-end processing power to maintain the database
• System design costs
• Infrastructure modification and upgrades
• Installation costs, including current system integration costs
• Costs associated with collecting user identification data (enrollment)
• System maintenance costs, including ongoing enrollment and training
• Licensing (site or per-seat) costs. (National Biometric Security Project, 2008)
Indirect Costs
 Research, planning, system evaluation, and selection costs
 Implementation planning costs
 IT staff training costs
 User education and training costs
 Cost of lost productivity during implementation learning curve.
 Security administration, including exception processing (“work-arounds” for persons
unable to use the chosen biometric.)
 Implementation of new exception handling procedures for false rejects
 Revocation costs incurred should the system have to be shut down due to inadequate
planning. (National Biometric Security Project, 2008)
Quality Management
Primary System Performance Metrics
The following four performance metrics are accepted industry standards and are collectively
referred to as Biometric Common Performance Standards (CPS). (National Biometric Security
Project, 2008)

16. BIOMETRIC ACCESS - MARCH 2016 15
Testing Protocols
 When testing CPS metrics, each unit (sensor) must be activated a minimum of 10,000
times. (National Biometric Security Project, 2008)
 Testing will be focused on meeting the federal government requirements, its security
and quality.
 There will be common, consistent procedures for all teams supporting testing activities.
 The testing process will be strictly defined, and the changes will be limited to only
essential.
 If a module has been modified, it needs to be tested all over again from the beginning.
Testing Teams
Software
Software Testing team will be responsible for testing the entire software, from the unit testing
to the user acceptance testing.
Penetration
Penetration Testing team will look for exploits that can be used by malicious people after the
last system test.
False Accept Rate
(FAR)
•The probability that a biometric system will wrongly accept a false
claim regarding enrollment or non-enrollment in database. (AKA
"Type II error rate")
False Reject Rate
(FRR) + Failure to
Acquire Rate
•FRR: The probability that a biometric system will fail to accept a
true claim of enrollment or non-enrollment in a database. (AKA
"Type I error rate")
•FAR: The frequency of failure to acuire.
Failure to Enroll
Rate (FER)
•The percentage of the population which fails to complete
enrollment for a biometric solution or application. Failure can be
due to physical differences, to lack of training, environmental
conditions or ergonomics.
Throughput Rate
•The number of end users that a biometric system can process
within a stated time interval.

17. BIOMETRIC ACCESS - MARCH 2016 16

Stakeholder List
Risk Management
The implementation of biometric security measures project will come with a few risks attached.
The risks involved with this project can be broken down into procedural, financial, regulatory and
human. Each of these risks present potential challenges that the project team will have to have
plans in place to deal with. Risk management will be handled at the top level and the leadership
core will be expected to react to and handle any risks that pop up during the project.
Procedural
Delay of Equipment
This project will rely on a significant purchase of biometric security equipment. Any delay in the
procurement of this equipment will lead to a delay in the installation of the project. To mitigate
this risk, the project team will need to be sure to order the equipment early enough that it is for
sure to arrive on time.
Installation Problems
With any project involving new equipment there is the risk that the equipment will not work as
expected or may not be compatible with the current setup. This may create problems with the
installation requiring the workers to alter their plan.

21. BIOMETRIC ACCESS - MARCH 2016 20
Regulatory
Changed Regulations
This project is based on adjusting the current security procedures to get up to federal
regulations. This presents a risk as regulations could change or get more stringent during the
project. If this were to happen, the leadership would have to decide whether to invest in meeting
the new standards or abandoning the project.
Human
Resistance to Change
The culture at the firm is resistant to new security and hesitant about change. This may lead to
delayed adoption or even refusal by employees. Furthermore, even if employees accept the new
security they may harbor resentment or have lingering negative attitudes towards management.
Loss of Staff
The new security will require the firm to get rid of some security staff. This may negatively
affect employee chemistry and may create divisions between management and employees.
Financial
Unforeseen Costs
With any project there is a risk of costs popping up that were not in the budget. These costs can
stem from any number of issues. For this project, the financial risks are reduced due to the
team having almost a blank check to accomplish the task.
