Refer to the “Case Scenario: Premiere Collegiate School” handout. Based on your discussion of this scenario in class, create an asset list in order of importance of each asset and then write an executive summary report: Identify all IT assets and enter a description of each into an asset identification and classification table, similar to the following. IT Asset Description IT Infrastructure Domain Privacy Data Impact Assessment [Critical-Major-Minor] Quantitative Value ($) Indicate in which of the seven domains of a typical IT infrastructure the asset resides. Indicate if the asset accesses customer privacy data or contains customer privacy data. Classify the IT asset as Critical, Major, or Minor. Critical: Generates revenues or represents intellectual property asset of organization Major: Contains customer privacy data. Minor: Required for normal business functions and operations. Assign a quantitative value ($) to each asset. Consider the measurable characteristics of each asset, such as the original cost and cost of replacement. Prioritize the order of the assets in the table based on their importance to the school. When prioritizing assets, consider why one asset should be protected more than another. Use the information in the table to create an executive summary that explains your list. This executive summary will be presented to the school’s board of directors. Required Resources Text Sheet: Case Scenario: Premiere Collegiate School (ts_premiercollegiateschool) You are the new System Support Technician at Premier Collegiate School. This private school has students from grade 7 to grade 12 with 300 students, and 30 staff members and teachers. Each of the 10 administrative staff has a dedicated desktop computer. The school principal, Ashton Symonds, has a notebook computer which she takes home and when traveling to conduct both school business, and personal tasks. She maintains a Facebook and MySpace account to be able to monitor the activities of the students who also have such accounts. The teachers have ten computers that they share in the teachers’ lounge to record grades and do all work associated with conducting their assigned classes (daily lesson plans, research, handouts, tests, quizzes, and final exams). There are two servers functioning in the school, one for the administration business, and one to serve student needs. The administration server has dedicated storage for each of the teachers and both hard wired access and wireless access throughout the school. The student server has applications the students might need for their schoolwork. In addition, the student server provides wireless access for student-owned and school-required laptop computers. All students are required to have laptop computers with wireless access. There is also one dedicated computer lab with 25 desktop computers for the students to use in computer science classes. Principal Symonds has requested that you prepare an asset list and prioritize the assets based on their importance to the function of the school and the level of protection required for each asset.

Explanation / Answer

Premier Collegiate School, a private school, has total strength of 300 students and 30 faculties. We can clearly observe that 2 servers are functioning within the school premises i.e. one for the administrative activities and other for student’s needs. In this, 35 desktops are shared by students as well as the faculties whereas 1 laptop is allotted for the principal. Only enrolled students are required to provide privately owned laptops for their school work. Hence, an asset list is required so that priorities can be listed on this based on their importance to the function of the school and the level of protection required for each and every asset. So, asset list for Premier Collegiate School is:
