Scenario: You have just successfully implemented an online platform at your company. The system has been in production for 6 months processing student loan applications and accepting credit card payments for books and course fees.

The IT director has been asked by the board of directors (BOD) to build a network operations center (NOC) to provide 24/7 support to customers and internal staff. The IT director begins assembling the team who will design and implement a NOC and asks you to lead the development of a security operations center (SOC) to handle security incidents that the organization may encounter. Since the internal security team already monitors security for the online loan processing platform, it's expected that developing a SOC is the next logistical step in maturing the security of the organization.

You are asked by the IT director to create a project charter and include a project scoping statement for the SOC project with a primary focus on how the SOC will comply with the various industry and government information security regulations. The IT director also points out that you need to outline how you plan to manage scheduling, cost, teams, and the quality of the project.
