They have a second store in Trafford Centre and have recently opened a new store in Liverpool. Eden Ltd has links with several independent designers and writers. These designers and writers have to go into the office to submit their work or send them by courier. Accepted designs and manuscripts are then sent by courier to book printers near Cardiff. Eden Ltd wants to now expand by setting up an in house design studio for comics and other entertainment titles. The studio will form part of the head office in Salford. As part of this expansion, Eden Ltd have upgraded their IT assets to an Apple Mac based network. All independent designers will now have access to the company’s internal network. The company also wants to start selling e-books from its website and via the iBook store. The Director has decided to issue iPads and iPhones to all the employees. These devices will be pre-loaded with relevant apps, in addition to giving access to e-mail and other office resources while on the move.

The Director wants to implement clear security measures over all aspects of their operations, including the use of the new iPads and iPhones by the employees. The Director concerned about the security implications of these changes and has hired you as security consultant to provide guidance on implementing a robust security programme. Your task for this assignment is to prepare a risk assessment chart using the NIST SP 800-30 risk assessment methodology and develop a policy with recommended security measures to be implemented. Your risk assessment chart only needs to cover the specific devices. The policy only needs to cover security measures covering the use of Apple smart phones and tablet devices. Any other assumptions you make should be listed in your report.
