Unit 7 Assignment Directions: Case Scenario: Configuration Management Plan (CMP) Document Creation

Step 1: Scenario:

Right after you receive your cybersecurity degree, you receive an offer letter from the payroll department of a U.S. federal agency to work as a cybersecurity consultant. Upon briefing, you are told they do not have a well-established configuration management plan (CMP) document. The absence of a complete CMP will impede the agencys ability to coordinate, track, and manage change to the baseline of an applications configurable items (CIs).

Below are the major issues you need to consider while creating a robust CMP (considering the one-week timeframe for this unit). From the list below, you will need to pick at least four areas and compile a 5- to 7-page CMP document that addresses a plan for them. Remember to refer to Unit 1 learning resources as necessary and feel free to explore outside resources as needed.

1. No service level agreement (SLA) during deployment, integration, change requests
2. Absence of a change control board (CCB)
3. No ticketing management system to track internal change requests (CRs)
4. No central repository to control version revision for all IT assets (HW/SW/firmware)
5. No default baseline configuration for HW/SW
6. No auditing and accounting for any change requests
7. No system development life cycle (SDLC) process
8. Absence of development environment to test new HW/SW before getting deployed into the production environment
9. Absence of roles and responsibilities to manage the change request workflow/process
10. No formal change request form
11. No IT service management (ITSM) ticketing system
12. No priority for change request tickets (minor, standard, major, emergency)

You can incorporate other areas of CMP that were not listed above, based on your experiences as a cybersecurity professional.

Please see this to help guide you as you write about at least four areas for your CMP.

Step 2:

• Develop your configuration management plan (CMP) to address the specified limitations within the organization.
  • You can incorporate other areas of CMP that were not listed above.
• The plan should be between 57 pages, not including the references or title page.
  • A project that is longer than 7 pages, not including the references or title page, will NOT BE ACCEPTED.
• Please format your paper to be in 12-point Times New Roman font with 1 margins.
  • Please be sure to check your grammar and spelling too. UMGC has a lot of writing resources to support you; see them below.
