Research paper—phase 2 of final project

 please go through rubric cube regarding creiteria for writing the paper

Getting Started

This workshop focuses on the broad issue of laws that protect the greater technology user community from malicious activities that may invade their privacy or steal from them. The internet has provided a medium that is easy for the criminal element and those with malicious intent to take advantage of individuals, companies, and other entities. We constantly hear of someone who has had money clandestinely removed from a bank account or a social media account that has been highjacked. What laws and regulations prevail? How are legal concerns handled from nation to nation? In this assignment, you will focus on cybercrime and the laws designed to protect us by preparing a short research paper.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

• Examine the compliance issues for the current technology environment.
• Explore current legislation related to the communication of data.

Background Information

There will be a final project due in Workshop Six. Note the information below related to the completion of the final project.

You will complete the final paper in the form of a compliance and governance plan for an organization. You may use your own organization (although you must change the name for confidentiality purposes) or use a fictitious company. You may use the internet to look for examples of privacy policies and compliance and governance plans; however, the plan you develop must be in your own words. The plan must cover the issues and concerns that need to be addressed by the plan, including the following:

• Privacy issues of customers
• Protection of intellectual property your organization possesses (assume the company has some copyrighted or patented material [e.g., software] or some product)
• Cyberlaws that will apply to your organization

The paper should be outlined as follows:

• Executive summary/introduction, including the issues and concerns to be addressed by the plan
• Sections that address each of the concerns noted above
• Conclusion

The paper should be about 15 to 20 pages in length (double-spaced), and transitions between sections should be addressed. Any graphics or tables do not count toward the page count. Make sure to use 7th edition of the APA style guide where required. The paper should include credible references that are cited according to the 7th edition of the APA style guide. You may and should use research to develop your plans, but make sure to cite your sources. All written work should be your own. For questions on APA style, go to OCLS APA Writing Style Guides.
