What you need to do:

Research the topic of Information Security Management from quality sources


and
write a short essay on the topic of:

The Need for Information Security Management


for Small to Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs)

The essay is written by each student individually. It is not part of the


group’s work for the unit. The essay should not exceed 3000 words for
internal students, excluding references. The essay should not exceed
5500 words for external students, excluding references.
Your essay should generally explore 2-3 topics among the ones listed below,
focusing on the major relevant issues of the chosen topics. The essay should
describe and discuss the introduction and implementation of information
security regimes in small to medium enterprises (SMEs) against
implementation in much larger organisations.

Topics among which students should choose for their essay:

 Justifying the need for sound information security management in SMEs


 Incident response management and disaster recovery
 Mobile device security management
 Linking business objectives with security
 Biometric security devices and their use
 Ethical issues in information security management
 Security training and education
 Governance issues in information security management
 Personnel issues in information security
 Physical security issues in information security
 Cyber forensic incident response

You must produce a research essay based on the work of credible and
relevant authors (not your gut-feeling about information security
management). The essay should be fully referenced. The word limits
mentioned above should not be exceeded, and marks may be deducted for
essays exceeding the word limit. However, otherwise the essay is marked
purely on content, so essays that simply try to make up the word limit but
provide limited information will receive poor marks.
