Scenario: You are assisting the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for a Cloud based start-up company that just acquired multiple smaller cloud app based technology companies in the U.S. the EU. This transformation will require a complete revamp of the company's internal and customer-facing terms of service and privacy policies. Your plans to transform its business offering by consolidating the acquired technology platforms into a single mobile application (app) with multiple capabilities. You are unsure what locations will have a physical presence but you plan on keeping at least 3 physical locations. Next you are exploring the potential to acquire smaller cloud app based technology companies currently located in Germany and Saudi Arabia.

Actions: You are asked by the Board of Directors to provide an overview on how to address the complexities of data security and privacy before, during, and after this business transformation. You will need to briefly explain the complexities of internet governance, cloud technology, and user privacy so the Board can make well-informed decisions on how to proceed. In addition, the Board asks you to create a technology road map that defines key solutions that can be implemented over time to establish a robust customer data privacy and security program. Be sure to address the unique challenges posed by public policies related to internet governance and personal information protections.

Your First task is to:

Provide a detailed overview of internet governance, cloud technology, and user privacy. The overview should include:

A complete description of the complexities of public policies that may impact cloud technology and users in this business transformation including an explanation of the impact of the net neutrality debate and data protection laws.

Three advantages cloud technology can offer users and businesses based in the U.S. and EU.

Provide a technology roadmap of five key solutions that will help establish data privacy and security for citizens and companies in the U.S. and EU, addressing the unique challenges posed by public policies related to internet governance and personal information protections.

Based on your lab experiences in this course, include in your roadmap a concise explanation of how Microsoft Azure or Microsoft System Center 2012 or other current cloud solution you identify could be leveraged to assure privacy and confidentiality of data.

Examine where we are today in regards to internet governance and offer a prediction of the future given your current perspective, including how the differences in internet governance from country to country may impact the future.

Develop and Include a 1- to 2-page table comparing business traditions of companies in the U.S, Germany, and Saudi Arabia in the following areas: business etiquette, manners, and culture. The table will be used by the board as they consider moving into Germany and Saudi Arabia. The counties should be the column headers and the attributes should be the row headings.
