- Covering a greater area than the Management scope delegated to a Manager;

We will cover more details about the assignment in lectures and more specifically, in tutorials. There are some basic rules to this assignment:
- Your Policycancover the same material as the presentation you upload to the wiki (if you choose to do a presentation).
- Youmustnotcopy information from Policies you find on the internet, in the Library or any other location; the Policymustbe your own ideas in your own words. However, youmayuse found Policies as an educational tool to help you understand the language used in them.
- There is no word limit, either maximum or minimum, but a short Policy created by you will need to be perfect to receive good marks. On the other hand, a verbose Policy that is vague, contradictory, exceeds Management boundaries or is just plain wrong will also receive poor marks.
Policy generation This assignment is about you, as an individual, creating an Enterprise-wide CyberSecurity Policy. Your Policy can cover the same material as the presentation you upload to the wiki (if you choose to do a presentation). Generally, a Policy is a statement of Management intent (see lectures in Week 04), therefore a Policy can only cover as far as a Manager can manage. This point is extremely important as frequently Policies try to be more than they should, including: Covering a greater area than the Management scope delegated to a Manager; Including procedures as part of a Policy; and Including “motherhood” statement, that is, statements that sound good but on closer inspection provide to be idiotic.
