For Lady Only

Through this real-world project you will design a secure, scalable, and responsive database security plan and requirements definition document for a system of your choice. Your chief security officer has given you the assignment of defining, developing, and documenting a database security policy and plan for your databases. This document shall define who is responsible for security in your organization and what authority is granted to that person in the advent of a security breach. Additionally, policies and procedures should be defined and documented that outline the daily administrative tasks, definition of security rules and methods, and the enforcement of those rules. Your job is not to implement the requirements but to define what the requirements are and to document them. While working on your project, assume the roles of the chief security officer, database designer, database administrator, and chief applications designer.
