    ****Racial Disparities in Healthcare Among Pregnant Women in the United States****

    **_&_ how process, what**

    Darling et al. (2021) conducted a study between 2001 and 2018 in the United States, France, Spain, and the Netherlands to examine the efficiency of qualified interventions in preterm birth, small for gestational age, low birth weight, neonatal death, cesarean deliveries, maternal care satisfaction, and coast effectiveness programs. A systematic review was used to collect data from studies of mostly non-Caucasian women from low-income population ranging from 12 to 46 years of age and being between 20 to 32 weeks' gestation. Interventional programs were implemented into three categories: group prenatal care, augmented prenatal care, or a combination of both group and augmented prenatal care (Darling et al. 2021). The researchers found that certain interventions, such as prenatal care and augmented care, or a combination of both, may decrease adverse outcomes in small-for-gestational-age and preterm birth, and could aid in increasing maternal care satisfaction. Interventions that worked on enhancing coordination of care were found to result in providing more effective cost savings. The researchers also found disparities in the quality of access to care in the vulnerable population. There was insufficient evidence of suitable quality to confirm that the interventions were successful at enhancing clinical outcomes in prenatal care for at risk populations (Darling et al. 2021).

    Racial Disparities in Healthcare Among Pregnant Women in the United States

    Literature Review

    Review of Literature

    Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Factors

    Darling et al. (2021) conducted a study between 2001 and 2018 to examine the efficiency

    of qualified interventions in preterm birth, small for gestational age, low birth weight, neonatal

    death, cesarean deliveries, maternal care satisfaction, and coast effectiveness programs. A

    systematic review was used to collect data from the United States, France, Spain, and the

    Netherlands. The studies consisted of mostly non- Caucasian women from low-income

    population ranging from 12 to 46 years of age and being between 20 to 32 weeks' gestation.

    Interventional programs were implemented into three categories: group prenatal care, augmented

    prenatal care, or a combination of both group and augmented prenatal care (Darling et al., 2021).

    The researchers found that certain interventions, such as prenatal care and augmented care, or a

    combination of both, may decrease adverse outcomes in small-for-gestational-age and preterm

    birth, and could aid in increasing maternal care satisfaction. Interventions that worked on

    enhancing coordination of care were found to result in providing more effective cost savings.

    The researchers also found disparities in the quality of access to care in the vulnerable

    population. There was insufficient evidence of suitable quality to confirm that the interventions

    were successful at enhancing clinical outcomes in prenatal care for at risk populations (Darling et

    al., 2021).

    Similar observations were made in a study conducted by Nichols and Cohen (2020),

    between 2006 and 2018 to examine the methods used to improve the results of maternal

    mortality in California. The study was conducted using a scoping review to evaluate research on

    3

    women and maternal health in the United States. The researchers used information from the US

    Maternal Fetal Medicine Network to measure the percentage of studies where pregnant women,

    women, and children were the main focus. The researchers also reviewed documentation on

    healthcare policies and practices from California’s public health department, healthcare

    foundation, and Maternal Quality Care Collaborative. Nichols and Cohen (2020) found that

    although the health of fetus and children could be adversely affected by the health of the mother,

    the majority of maternal programs in the United States places emphasis on the child. The

    researchers also found four areas of concern in women health experiences, both in pre and

    postnatal care. The problem areas entailed inadequate investment in women's health, inefficient

    quality of care and avoidable caesarean delivers, expanding disparities in minority women and

    women living in rural areas, and contradictory collection and distribution of data (Nichols &

    Cohen, 2020).

    Approaches to Improving Pregnancy Outcomes

    In contrast to the preceding studies, Zhang et al. (2013) conducted a study between 2005

    and 2007 to calculate the excessive rate of unfavorable outcomes in pregnancy within racial and

    ethnic groups. The study also aimed to measure the possibility of Medicaid savings that are

    linked to paid maternal care claims resulting from the inequalities that contribute to unfavorable

    maternal outcomes. A cross-sectional study using Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) data was

    used to gather pregnancy outcome information from inpatient hospitals from 14 states (Florida,

    Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Maryland,

    Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, and Texas). The study consisted of a little over 2

    million patients who were insured with Medicaid and had a delivery code of maternal delivery

    stay. Zhang et al. (2013) found that, with the exception of gestational diabetes, African American

    4

    women showed the worst outcomes out of all unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. These disparities

    are postulated as being multi-factorial, having causes stemming from complicated experiences

    with racism, poverty, and complex healthcare interactions. It was also found that women covered

    under Medicaid health insurance were more likely to have consistency in care from prenatal care

    through delivery compared to their counterparts. However, due to participation in Medicaid

    programs being influenced by reimbursement rates, some providers may choose to stop

    accepting Medicaid patients because of reimbursement delays and low payment rates, which

    could contribute to negative birth outcomes (Zhang et al., 2013).

    Literature Review

    Review of Literature

    Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Factors

    Darling et al. (2021) conducted a study between 2001 and 2018 to examine the efficiency

    of qualified interventions in preterm birth, small for gestational age, low birth weight, neonatal

    death, cesarean deliveries, maternal care satisfaction, and coast effectiveness programs. A

    systematic review was used to collect data from the United States, France, Spain, and the

    Netherlands. The studies consisted of mostly non- Caucasian women from low-income

    population ranging from 12 to 46 years of age and being between 20 to 32 weeks' gestation.

    Interventional programs were implemented into three categories: group prenatal care, augmented

    prenatal care, or a combination of both group and augmented prenatal care (Darling et al., 2021).

    The researchers found that certain interventions, such as prenatal care and augmented care, or a

    combination of both, may decrease adverse outcomes in small-for-gestational-age and preterm

    birth, and could aid in increasing maternal care satisfaction. Interventions that worked on

    enhancing coordination of care were found to result in providing more effective cost savings.

    The researchers also found disparities in the quality of access to care in the vulnerable

    population. There was insufficient evidence of suitable quality to confirm that the interventions

    were successful at enhancing clinical outcomes in prenatal care for at risk populations (Darling et

    al., 2021).

    Similar observations were made in a study conducted by Nichols and Cohen (2020),

    between 2006 and 2018 to examine the methods used to improve the results of maternal

    mortality in California. The study was conducted using a scoping review to evaluate research on

    3

    women and maternal health in the United States. The researchers used information from the US

    Maternal Fetal Medicine Network to measure the percentage of studies where pregnant women,

    women, and children were the main focus. The researchers also reviewed documentation on

    healthcare policies and practices from California’s public health department, healthcare

    foundation, and Maternal Quality Care Collaborative. Nichols and Cohen (2020) found that

    although the health of fetus and children could be adversely affected by the health of the mother,

    the majority of maternal programs in the United States places emphasis on the child. The

    researchers also found four areas of concern in women health experiences, both in pre and

    postnatal care. The problem areas entailed inadequate investment in women's health, inefficient

    quality of care and avoidable caesarean delivers, expanding disparities in minority women and

    women living in rural areas, and contradictory collection and distribution of data (Nichols &

    Cohen, 2020).

    Approaches to Improving Pregnancy Outcomes

    In contrast to the preceding studies, Zhang et al. (2013) conducted a study between 2005

    and 2007 to calculate the excessive rate of unfavorable outcomes in pregnancy within racial and

    ethnic groups. The study also aimed to measure the possibility of Medicaid savings that are

    linked to paid maternal care claims resulting from the inequalities that contribute to unfavorable

    maternal outcomes. A cross-sectional study using Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX) data was

    used to gather pregnancy outcome information from inpatient hospitals from 14 states (Florida,

    Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Maryland,

    Missouri, Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, and Texas). The study consisted of a little over 2

    million patients who were insured with Medicaid and had a delivery code of maternal delivery

    stay. Zhang et al. (2013) found that, with the exception of gestational diabetes, African American

    4

    women showed the worst outcomes out of all unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. These disparities

    are postulated as being multi-factorial, having causes stemming from complicated experiences

    with racism, poverty, and complex healthcare interactions. It was also found that women covered

    under Medicaid health insurance were more likely to have consistency in care from prenatal care

    through delivery compared to their counterparts. However, due to participation in Medicaid

    programs being influenced by reimbursement rates, some providers may choose to stop

    accepting Medicaid patients because of reimbursement delays and low payment rates, which

    could contribute to negative birth outcomes (Zhang et al., 2013).

    **## Discussion2.docx**

    **Introduction**

    From a legal perspective, law functions as a tool to maintain order and discourage wrongdoing. Hill (2018), underscores the importance of ethical governance in business and society, aligning with Paul's assertion that law should encourage good conduct and deter evil. Legal frameworks are essential for upholding justice, safeguarding rights, and averting disorder. Governmental authority, when justly exercised, fulfills a divinely mandated role in safeguarding the welfare of society.

    **Romans 13:1-7: The Purpose of Government and the Role of Law**

    In Romans 13:1-7, Paul articulates a foundation for governance, highlighting its divine establishment and function in upholding justice. Christians are instructed to comply with governmental authorities that are established by God. He asserts that rulers exist to promote good and punish evil, thereby acting as servants of God (Romans 13:4). Government, according to Paul, is a means of upholding moral order and ensuring societal stability.

    Additionally, Canaday (2021), suggests that Paul's call for submission to governing authorities is framed within a broader context of love and peace, indicating that submission should not be equated with blind obedience. This perspective is consistent with the belief that Christians are commanded to honor those in positions of authority, but that their ultimate loyalty should be to God's moral code.

    **John 18:31–19:6: Governor Pilate’s Violation of Roman Law**

    In John 18:31–19:6, Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, plays a pivotal role in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. Despite finding no legal basis for Jesus’ execution (John 18:38; 19:4, 6), Pilate succumbs to political pressure and allows an unjust punishment. This decision violates Roman legal principles, which emphasized due process and the protection of the accused (Dudley, 2019). Under Roman law, an individual could not be executed without clear evidence of a crime. Pilate, knowing Jesus was innocent, relinquished his judicial duty by permitting the execution to continue for political convenience.

    **The Function of Law in Establishing Minimal Standards of Behavior**

    Law serves as a foundation for societal ethics by establishing a minimal standard of behavior. Law acts as a safeguard against injustice and ensures that individuals adhere to a baseline of moral conduct (Hill, 2018). The miscarriage of justice in Jesus' trial highlights the imperative for equitable and unbiased legal systems. Pilate's inadequacy shines light that the law, when distorted for political or personal advantage, can result in severe injustice. Thus, law should function not merely as a deterrent but as a means of upholding righteousness and protecting the vulnerable (Johnson, 2020).

    **Conclusion**

    Paul’s writings in Romans 13:1-7 provide a bible-based foundation for government’s role in maintaining order and punishing wrongdoing. John 18:31–19:6 illustrates the historical instance where the law was misapplied, leading to an unjust execution. It’s known that law serves a critical role in society by setting necessary ethical boundaries and ensuring justice. When properly administered, law functions as a moral compass, preventing disorder and upholding the dignity of all individuals.

    **Law and Ethics**

    The idea that “law is necessary” has long been debated by scholars and theologians. In Christian ethics, Paul’s writings in Romans 13:1-7 (
    _Holy Bible_, NIV) provide a strong basic perspective on the role of law and government in society. Paul suggests that governing leaders are established by God to maintain order and stability, ultimately fulfilling His divine purpose (Romans 13:1-2, NIV). The government’s primary responsibility is to uphold righteousness, restrain wrongdoing, and administer justice, with leaders serving as God’s agents to ensure fairness and accountability (Romans 13:3-4. NIV). Therefore, law is a moral framework that promotes the common good and creates social stability. However, Paul also emphasizes that law is not an end goal but a means of serving God and supporting human well-being.

    Law is essential for deterring wrongdoing and ensuring justice, although history reveals how legal systems can be exploited for personal or political gain. An example of such corruption is Governor Pilate’s handling of Jesus’ trial in John 18:31–19:6 (
    _Holy Bible_, NIV). Roman law mandated a fair trial with credible evidence before sentencing someone to death. However, despite recognizing Jesus’ innocence, Pilate yields to political pressure and authorizes His execution without just cause (John 19:1-6, NIV). His disregard for due process and willingness to prioritize political convenience over justice represents a significant breach of Roman legal principles.

    This emphasizes the importance of law in setting a basic standard of behavior, promoting fairness, and shielding individuals from unjust treatment. Law should act as a protection against injustice, minimizing the abuses of power, and ensuring that governance adheres to ethical and moral values. Micah 6:8 (
    _Holy Bible_, NIV) reinforces this responsibility, calling for leaders to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.” Without this ethical oversight, legal systems risk becoming instruments of oppression rather than mechanisms for justice.

    Beyond biblical principles, ethics and accountability are key components of an effective legal and governance system. Ethical standards support government officials to act with integrity, enhancing transparency and accountability in legal enforcement (Mendy, 2023). Research highlights that strong ethics frameworks contribute to market efficiency, government effectiveness, and overall integrity, reinforcing the need for law as guidance for societal order (Demir, Reddick, & Perlman, 2023). In terms of emotional labor, Mastracci (2022) argues that this factor is crucial for adopting an ethic of care to address the emotional challenges faced by public service workers to better support workers and improve service quality. However, when legal and ethical standards are inconsistently applied or manipulated for political or personal gain, challenges appear. This also highlights the importance of accountability measures that ensure laws serve the public good rather than individual interests.

    In conclusion, law is essential for societal stability and justice, but it must be accountable to prevent abuse. As Paul’s teachings in Romans 13:1-7 (NIV) affirm, law should serve God and promote human well-being, not be an end in itself.

    **Necessity of Law**

    Law varies in every society. Laws are derived from morals and ethics often based on religious foundations. Laws provide structure to society by documenting establishing standards, maintaining order, resolving disputes, and protecting liberties and rights of citizens they govern. Without the law there are no protections within society. Laws do not mean we are protected from all; they mean we have an avenue to right wrongs and punish if necessary. Killingsworth details in
    _International Humanitarian Law: Necessity, Distinction and the ‘Standard of Civilisation_ that law is a necessity and that we see more corruption in uncivilized countries without law and order. The article further details how war would look without laws to establish practices. Even war to an extent must be civilized and fought by law. Law is necessary to basic human survival. The Bible documents the need for government and that all law comes through Christ. Romans 13:1 states, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God” (BibleGateway, 2025). From the beginning we know law is a necessity.

    **The Purpose of Government**

    According to Paul the government’s authority is derived from the highest authority, Christ. Paul’s lesson is that government is divine and should follow Christ’s teachings. The primary purpose of the law is that it should restrain and punish evil. Law considers what is moral and fair underlining what obligations we have to one another (Hill, p. 90, 2018). From the beginning of man all-knowing Christ knew the need for law and order.

    Governor Pilate violates Roman law in John by insulting the religious sensibilities of his Jewish subjects by promoting Roman religion and emperor worship. He provoked both Jews and Samaritans to rioting during his tenure (Petruzzello, 2025). Pilate later had to stand trial in Rome for cruelty and oppression. Law should provide a basic outline to establish a minimal standard of behavior in society. The law is a guidepost for minimally acceptable behavior in society. Some activities, for example, are crimes because society (through a legislative body) has determined that it will not tolerate certain behaviors that injure or damage persons or their property (Williams, 2024). We know through Biblical principles that morals, ethics, and laws are necessary in our lives. The Bible without establishing a dominant government, knowing societal needs would vary across the world, documents the need to govern man. The Bible further details that government must be as just as man.

    Law is essential for deterring wrongdoing and ensuring justice, although history reveals how legal systems can be exploited for personal or political gain. An example of such corruption is Governor Pilate’s handling of Jesus’ trial in John 18:31–19:6 (
    _Holy Bible_, NIV). Roman law mandated a fair trial with credible evidence before sentencing someone to death. However, despite recognizing Jesus’ innocence, Pilate yields to political pressure and authorizes His execution without just cause (John 19:1-6, NIV). His disregard for due process and willingness to prioritize political convenience over justice represents a significant breach of Roman legal principles.

    This emphasizes the importance of law in setting a basic standard of behavior, promoting fairness, and shielding individuals from unjust treatment. Law should act as a protection against injustice, minimizing the abuses of power, and ensuring that governance adheres to ethical and moral values. Micah 6:8 (
    _Holy Bible_, NIV) reinforces this responsibility, calling for leaders to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.” Without this ethical oversight, legal systems risk becoming instruments of oppression rather than mechanisms for justice.

    Beyond biblical principles, ethics and accountability are key components of an effective legal and governance system. Ethical standards support government officials to act with integrity, enhancing transparency and accountability in legal enforcement (Mendy, 2023). Research highlights that strong ethics frameworks contribute to market efficiency, government effectiveness, and overall integrity, reinforcing the need for law as guidance for societal order (Demir, Reddick, & Perlman, 2023). In terms of emotional labor, Mastracci (2022) argues that this factor is crucial for adopting an ethic of care to address the emotional challenges faced by public service workers to better support workers and improve service quality. However, when legal and ethical standards are inconsistently applied or manipulated for political or personal gain, challenges appear. This also highlights the importance of accountability measures that ensure laws serve the public good rather than individual interests.

    In conclusion, law is essential for societal stability and justice, but it must be accountable to prevent abuse. As Paul’s teachings in Romans 13:1-7 (NIV) affirm, law should serve God and promote human well-being, not be an end in itself.

    **Necessity of Law**

    Law varies in every society. Laws are derived from morals and ethics often based on religious foundations. Laws provide structure to society by documenting establishing standards, maintaining order, resolving disputes, and protecting liberties and rights of citizens they govern. Without the law there are no protections within society. Laws do not mean we are protected from all; they mean we have an avenue to right wrongs and punish if necessary. Killingsworth details in
    _International Humanitarian Law: Necessity, Distinction and the ‘Standard of Civilisation_ that law is a necessity and that we see more corruption in uncivilized countries without law and order. The article further details how war would look without laws to establish practices. Even war to an extent must be civilized and fought by law. Law is necessary to basic human survival. The Bible documents the need for government and that all law comes through Christ. Romans 13:1 states, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God” (BibleGateway, 2025). From the beginning we know law is a necessity.

    **The Purpose of Government**

    According to Paul the government’s authority is derived from the highest authority, Christ. Paul’s lesson is that government is divine and should follow Christ’s teachings. The primary purpose of the law is that it should restrain and punish evil. Law considers what is moral and fair underlining what obligations we have to one another (Hill, p. 90, 2018). From the beginning of man all-knowing Christ knew the need for law and order.

    Governor Pilate violates Roman law in John by insulting the religious sensibilities of his Jewish subjects by promoting Roman religion and emperor worship. He provoked both Jews and Samaritans to rioting during his tenure (Petruzzello, 2025). Pilate later had to stand trial in Rome for cruelty and oppression. Law should provide a basic outline to establish a minimal standard of behavior in society. The law is a guidepost for minimally acceptable behavior in society. Some activities, for example, are crimes because society (through a legislative body) has determined that it will not tolerate certain behaviors that injure or damage persons or their property (Williams, 2024). We know through Biblical principles that morals, ethics, and laws are necessary in our lives. The Bible without establishing a dominant government, knowing societal needs would vary across the world, documents the need to govern man. The Bible further details that government must be as just as man.

    **Introduction**

    From a legal perspective, law functions as a tool to maintain order and discourage wrongdoing. Hill (2018), underscores the importance of ethical governance in business and society, aligning with Paul's assertion that law should encourage good conduct and deter evil. Legal frameworks are essential for upholding justice, safeguarding rights, and averting disorder. Governmental authority, when justly exercised, fulfills a divinely mandated role in safeguarding the welfare of society.

    **Romans 13:1-7: The Purpose of Government and the Role of Law**

    In Romans 13:1-7, Paul articulates a foundation for governance, highlighting its divine establishment and function in upholding justice. Christians are instructed to comply with governmental authorities that are established by God. He asserts that rulers exist to promote good and punish evil, thereby acting as servants of God (Romans 13:4). Government, according to Paul, is a means of upholding moral order and ensuring societal stability.

    Additionally, Canaday (2021), suggests that Paul's call for submission to governing authorities is framed within a broader context of love and peace, indicating that submission should not be equated with blind obedience. This perspective is consistent with the belief that Christians are commanded to honor those in positions of authority, but that their ultimate loyalty should be to God's moral code.

    **John 18:31–19:6: Governor Pilate’s Violation of Roman Law**

    In John 18:31–19:6, Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, plays a pivotal role in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. Despite finding no legal basis for Jesus’ execution (John 18:38; 19:4, 6), Pilate succumbs to political pressure and allows an unjust punishment. This decision violates Roman legal principles, which emphasized due process and the protection of the accused (Dudley, 2019). Under Roman law, an individual could not be executed without clear evidence of a crime. Pilate, knowing Jesus was innocent, relinquished his judicial duty by permitting the execution to continue for political convenience.

    **The Function of Law in Establishing Minimal Standards of Behavior**

    Law serves as a foundation for societal ethics by establishing a minimal standard of behavior. Law acts as a safeguard against injustice and ensures that individuals adhere to a baseline of moral conduct (Hill, 2018). The miscarriage of justice in Jesus' trial highlights the imperative for equitable and unbiased legal systems. Pilate's inadequacy shines light that the law, when distorted for political or personal advantage, can result in severe injustice. Thus, law should function not merely as a deterrent but as a means of upholding righteousness and protecting the vulnerable (Johnson, 2020).

    **Conclusion**

    Paul’s writings in Romans 13:1-7 provide a bible-based foundation for government’s role in maintaining order and punishing wrongdoing. John 18:31–19:6 illustrates the historical instance where the law was misapplied, leading to an unjust execution. It’s known that law serves a critical role in society by setting necessary ethical boundaries and ensuring justice. When properly administered, law functions as a moral compass, preventing disorder and upholding the dignity of all individuals.

    **Law and Ethics**

    The idea that “law is necessary” has long been debated by scholars and theologians. In Christian ethics, Paul’s writings in Romans 13:1-7 (
    _Holy Bible_, NIV) provide a strong basic perspective on the role of law and government in society. Paul suggests that governing leaders are established by God to maintain order and stability, ultimately fulfilling His divine purpose (Romans 13:1-2, NIV). The government’s primary responsibility is to uphold righteousness, restrain wrongdoing, and administer justice, with leaders serving as God’s agents to ensure fairness and accountability (Romans 13:3-4. NIV). Therefore, law is a moral framework that promotes the common good and creates social stability. However, Paul also emphasizes that law is not an end goal but a means of serving God and supporting human well-being.

    Law is essential for deterring wrongdoing and ensuring justice, although history reveals how legal systems can be exploited for personal or political gain. An example of such corruption is Governor Pilate’s handling of Jesus’ trial in John 18:31–19:6 (
    _Holy Bible_, NIV). Roman law mandated a fair trial with credible evidence before sentencing someone to death. However, despite recognizing Jesus’ innocence, Pilate yields to political pressure and authorizes His execution without just cause (John 19:1-6, NIV). His disregard for due process and willingness to prioritize political convenience over justice represents a significant breach of Roman legal principles.

    This emphasizes the importance of law in setting a basic standard of behavior, promoting fairness, and shielding individuals from unjust treatment. Law should act as a protection against injustice, minimizing the abuses of power, and ensuring that governance adheres to ethical and moral values. Micah 6:8 (
    _Holy Bible_, NIV) reinforces this responsibility, calling for leaders to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.” Without this ethical oversight, legal systems risk becoming instruments of oppression rather than mechanisms for justice.

    Beyond biblical principles, ethics and accountability are key components of an effective legal and governance system.

    ###### **Project Overview**

    This project includes the following tasks:

    1. Review and prioritize scenario audit observations
    2. Develop an information security policy and related procedure
    3. Develop an implementation and dissemination plan

    ###### Objective: Developing Information Security Policies

    A security policy is the document developed by an organization that formally states how it plans to protect its information and information systems. Organizations should treat a security policy as a “living document.” This means that the organization continuously reviews and updates the document as technology and employee requirements change.

    Organizations use several documents to support its policy infrastructure. In this project, you will be developing the following documents:

    – An Information Security Policy
    – A procedure to support the policy

    An effective security policy references the standards and guidelines that exist within an organization. An information security policy contains high-level statements with the intent of protecting information and assets. It is the responsibility of senior management to develop security policies.

    **Standards** are mandatory controls that enforce and support the information security policy. Standards are a collection of properties or rules that an organization formally adopts and recognizes. There are many standards organizations in the information technology field including IEEE, EIA/TIA, NIST and ISO.

    **Guidelines** are recommended, non-mandatory controls that support standards and provide a foundation for the development of best practices.

    **Procedures** are the systematic instructions used by employees within the organization that explain how to implement the controls defined in the policies, standards, and guidelines.

    For example, a password policy states the standard for creating strong passwords and protecting passwords. A password construction guideline defines how to create a strong password and provides best practices recommendations. The password procedure provides the instructions on how to implement the strong password requirement. Organizations do not update policies as frequently as they update procedures within the information security policy framework.

    ###### **Project Scenario**

    ACME Healthcare is a healthcare company that runs over 25 medical facilities including patient care, diagnostics, outpatient care and emergency care. The organization has experienced several data breaches over the last five years. These data breaches have cost the organization financially and damaged its reputation.

    The executive leadership team recently hired a new Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). The new CISO has brought in one of the top cybersecurity penetration teams to perform a full security audit on the entire organization. This independent contractor conducted the audit, and found the following vulnerabilities:

    01. Several accounts were identified for employees that are no longer employed by ACME.
    02. Several user accounts allowed unauthorized and escalated privileges and accessed systems and information without formal authorization.
    03. Several devices and systems allowed unsecure remote access.
    04. Forty percent of all organization passwords audited were cracked within 6 hours.
    05. Password expiration was not standardized.
    06. Sensitive files were found unencrypted on user systems and laptops.
    07. Several wireless hotspots used WEP for encryption and authentication.
    08. Evidence indicates that sensitive e-mail was sent unencrypted to and from employee homes and mobile devices.
    09. Intrusion detection logs were infrequently reviewed and analyzed.
    10. Systems with sensitive company data were used by employees for private use.
    11. Employee systems were left unattended and employees failed to logout of the company network and data systems.
    12. Inconsistent system updates and configurations were performed.
    13. Several firewall rules were set to permit all traffic unless specifically denied.
    14. Company servers were not updated with the latest patches.
    15. Intranet web server allowed users to change personal information about themselves, including contact information (address, phone number, etc.).
