Ranking-the-Pairs-

/in /by

The CEO of your selected organization has requested an enterprise security plan from your team. This week you will prioritize the threats and vulnerabilities previously identified, and determine which need attention and which may be left for another time. This is done by determining the probability of the risk and the potential impact it may have on the organization. Your objective is to address the risks with the highest probability of happening, with the highest impact on the organization.

Extend your table from Week Two to include columns for Probability of Risk and Impact of Risk on the organization. Include mitigation steps of the top 20 pairs.

Part 1

Fill out the final three columns in the table from the previous week.

Rate the probability and impact of each vulnerability-threat pair as High, Medium, or Low. (These are independent of each other.)

Rank the pairs in the order they should be addressed by the organization. (High/High rows will be at the top and Low/Low rows at the bottom.) The team will have to decide where to rank rows which are not at these extremes.

Suggest specific mitigation steps to take for the top 20 rows. You will go into more detail for the final project due in Week Five.

Leave the Suggested Mitigation Steps column empty for rows below the top 20.


Part 2

Prepare a brief explanation on the final rankings.

  • Describe how the team finally ranked the pairs and the reasoning behind the suggested mitigation steps.
  • Focus on the top 20 rows, but cover why the others were ranked lower and will not be addressed at this time.
  • Keep this explanation brief and clear but informative.

“Lizardo vs Denny Inc.”

Two corrections officers were employed as security personnel at Denny’s Restaurant.
After a member of an Asian American group complained about the delay in being
seated, one of the officers escorted the complaining Asian American out of the
restaurant and threatened to arrest him for disorderly conduct. A series of fights erupted
outside the restaurant between the Asian American group and other restaurant patrons.
A group of African Americans also waiting to be seated went outside to observe the
argument. One of them went back inside and while describing the outside commotion,
used an expletive. After the restaurant manager warned the African American group to
be quiet or leave, the officers escorted them out of the restaurant. Members of both
groups sued Denny’s Restaurant and the security personnel for excluding them from the
restaurant because of race in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, a constitutional tort. The court
held that the officers were acting in their official capacity as officers of the state when
escorting the Asian Americans out of the restaurant and threatening to arrest them for
disorderly conduct. Thus, Denny’s could not be held liable for the official acts of
government officers. The court also determined, however, that Denny’s could be held
liable for the conduct of the security personnel in escorting the African Americans out of
the restaurant at the urging of the store manager because that conduct was within the
scope of their employment as security personnel.—Lizardo v. Denny’s Inc., 2000.
