Billingsley-Boscovitch Business Supplies, Inc. (B3SI) MISSION STATEMENT Billingsley-Boscovitch Business Supplies, Inc. (B3SI) strives to provides its customers with the high quality business and technology supplies, equipment, furnishing and advice need to enable our customers to maximize their business operations. Values Statement It is our intent to provide the highest degrees of dedication, quality and integrity, reflected in our services and our products. We are committed to building life-long partnerships with our customers and our employees. We strive to provide our products and services with a dedication to the highest degree of integrity and quality, with customer satisfaction and the development of long-term professional relationships with our customers. We value our employees that build pride and strive to creating a strong positive working environment and company spirit. B3SI is a local office supply store established in 1979 after its co-founders William Billingsley and Alexander Boscovitch met in college. Upon graduation, each earning their business degrees with honors, the duo decided to establish a local store which would sell office supplies to many of the north Atlantis companies, building a strong customer based with a high degree of customer support and satisfaction. Today, even in the face of corporate office supply giants, their dedication to serving their customers has allowed the company to grow to 5 regional stores, with a corporate headquarters serving as the central shipping and receiving hub, and a fleet of 20 delivery trucks. Recently (in 2015) both Mr. Billingsley, Senior and Mr. Boscovitch retired from the business leaving William Billingsley II (a.k.a. Junior) in charge of the business. Junior has an MBA and a BSBA in Entrepreneurship, with a minor in IT from the Atlantis University of Technology. Junior’s first order of business was to update the almost obsolete IT infrastructure and telephony systems in all stores and the corporate headquarters. His next task is to improve the information security of the corporate headquarters. Executive Staff The current CEO, William Billingsley, Jr. oversees all operations at corporate headquarters and all 5 regional stores. The managers of the regional stores actually report to the COO, who reports to the CEO. The current CFO, Rachel Xieng, oversees all financial operations at corporate headquarters and all 5 regional stores. The Senior Accountant reports directly to the CFO.

* Data Center specifications provided separately

B3SI Data Center/Server Room (Room 127) Two full-height (42U), floor-standing racks inside the center currently each hold a 3000VA UPS and 6-8 rackmount servers (described below), plus switches for the 1GbE Cat6-backbone network and several shelves of routers, wireless controllers, spare drives and so on. The room is independently climate controlled and on its own 9000VA UPS that also powers half a dozen office systems and switches around the floor in case of a power outage. Current server applications installed and running as infrastructure: Unless otherwise specified, all servers are Dell PowerEdge R6xx Rack-mounted servers. Rack 1:
1. Windows 2016 Server A – Active Directory Service and AD SQL DB 2. Windows 2016 Server B – Primary Domain Name Service and DNS SQL DB 3. Windows 2016 Server C – Exchange 2013 email server and Email DB 4. Windows 2016 Server D – Traverse Accounting Software and Accounting SQL DB 5. Windows 2016 Server E – Traverse Distribution Software and Distribution SQL DB 6. Windows 2016 Server F – Traverse ERP Software and ERP SQL DB 7. Dell Storage NX 3xxx 1 – Network Attached Storage (NAS) #1 – Runs Windows 2016 R2 –
multi-terabyte data backup capability for Rack 1 servers’ databases. In CC|IRM this is referred to as “External Storage” – under Infrastructure. For our purposes, the NAS contains both encrypted “native” and “converted” data. So an administrator could read the data/databases from that NAS’ servers, without having to use special software or “restoring” the data, once they successfully log into the NAS, as each system is copying its data in near real time to the NAS. Every night, before the NAS backs up its data to the other NAS, it uses a program to create a true backup. Then copies this backup to the other NAS. You can also assume the NAS has sufficient drive space to host 7 days of “local” data, replacing the oldest data with new data daily. To simplify the project, each NAS contains a copy of its servers’ data/databases, and a copy of the other NAS’ data backup. So in CC/IRM NAS 1 contains Server A-F data/databases and “NAS2 Data” NOT Server G-K data/databases. NAS 2 thus contains Server G-K data/databases and “NAS1 Data” NOT Server A-F data/databases.
Rack 2:
1. Windows 2016 Server G – Office 365 Server and Office DB (contains Office 365 files and images) – web-based office productivity software used on employee systems.
2. Windows 2016 Server H – Internet Information Server #1 for Intranet support – stores own web and document data. Used for internal forums, wiki’s and policy document management.
3. Windows 2016 Server I – Optimum HRIS and HRIS DB 4. Windows 2016 Server K – Internet Information Server #2 used with Forefront TMG and
IIS-FTMGDB – used to provide web filtering and proxy services – has own Intranet DB. 5. Windows 2016 Server K – SupportIT and SIT DB – used by IT department to manage
systems configuration, updates, and helpdesk tickets. 6. Dell Storage NX 3xxx 2 – Network Attached Storage (NAS) #2 – Runs Windows 2012 R2 –
multi-terabyte data backup capability used as an onsite daily backup for all Rack 2
5
servers’ databases. In CC|IRM this is referred to as “External Storage” – under Infrastructure. See previous comment about NAS2 Data content.
All Servers (including both NAS) are backed up weekly to a Cloud-based backup service. In CC|IRM this is referred to as “Software-as-a-Service”.
Again: All data and databases from Rack 1 copied daily to NAS#1 (External Storage). All data and databases from Rack 2 copied daily to NAS#2 (External Storage). NAS#1 data (which contains all Rack 1 data and databases) is backed up to NAS#2 nightly. NAS#2 data (which contains all Rack 2 data and databases) is backed up to NAS#1 nightly. All applications and data (including the contents of both NAS) backed up weekly to online backup service (SaaS).

Risk Management Project using Clearwater Compliance IRM Analysis – First Steps
Ima Student, Course, Semester, Date
Assignment 3 Asset Management
For this assignment, you will perform asset management using the Clearwater IRM Analysis software that is the leading application for healthcare information risk management in the nation. The software is cloud-based and can be accessed via a Web browser. This assignment will help you become familiar with the software and later you will use the software in your course project. Each student has an assigned account. Information needed to access Clearwater IRM Software:
Clearwater Compliance, LLC Software at: https://uwplatt.clwtr.com/
Username: your UW Extended Campus email address, e.g., abc@uwex.wisconsin.edu
Initial Password: abc@uwex.wisconsin.edu#
Begin by reading through these instructions. Review and/or complete the corresponding phase of this document before beginning the software component.
Follow the steps below to finish this assignment:
1. Begin with reviewing the provided list of information assets in the attached document (BSSI-Case.pdf) the case organization would have and associate them with their media.
2. Complete Tables 1 and 2 in this document.
3. Add all information assets to Clearwater IRM Analysis Application (Under Asset Inventory List)
4. Complete asset valuation screens in the Clearwater IRM Analysis application for your top information assets as defined in the template tables. In a real-world project, accurate asset valuation requires more data than the case study provides. For this task, focus on assigning importance and determining RTO and/or RPO for assets based on your assumptions and interpretation of their criticality to the owner.
5. Ensure your asset descriptions are a minimum of 25 words in length.
6. Create component groups for all shared or dedicated components (media) associated with your information assets.
PART 1 –INFORMATION ASSET IDENTIFICATION
Instructions for Table 1. Delete before submitting.
Complete Table 1 below specifying any information assets appropriate to the case not provided (add/remove rows as needed), the component/media, owner, type of data, RTO, and RPO, of all provided information assets, based on assumptions you derive from the case document.
These values will be entered into Clearwater IRM later in this assignment. Remember, each application should be paired with its data on its own server. All data is backed to a NAS (External storage) daily, and all data and applications are backed to the cloud (Software-as-a-Service) weekly. Both NAS cross-backup daily as well (NAS 1 backs up to NAS 2 and vice versa). All employees access all information assets through their desktops. Use the following options for the corresponding column’s values:
Component Group Options:
Components (a.k.a. Media) are the devices that “create, receive, store, transmit or view” information assets. Essentially, it’s the hardware that houses software and data. Before the current update for CC|IRM, these devices were referred to as media. For this assignment, use the following components:
Servers
External Storage (NAS1 and NAS2)
Desktops
Software-as-a-Service
Security and Governance
These component types need to be selected when adding assets to Clearwater IRM, then you will reorganize these into groups that match the actual implementation in the case organization. For example: presume that the Human Resources Information Systems SERVER (Server A) contains a specialized HR application (referred to as HRIS), and a database of employee data. This application and its data are accessed by employees on DESKTOPS, with the database backed up to the EXTERNAL STORAGE (NAS1) on a daily basis, with both the HRIS and the database backed up to the SOFTWARE-AS-A-SERVICE (the cloud backup) on a weekly basis. Periodically, the organization’s InfoSec and Executive Management teams review the application and its database as part of their SECURITY AND GOVERNANCE duties. See where the Component Groups come into play with the two information assets (the HRIS and the Employee DB)? So, under this example, the HRIS entries for Table 1 would be:
Asset |
Component/ Media |
Data Owner |
Type of Sensitive Data |
RTO Tier |
RPO Tier |
1) HRIS |
Desktop Server (A) SaaS |
HR Manager |
PII |
3 |

2) HRIS (Employee) DB |
Desktop Server (A) External Storage (NAS1) SaaS |
HR Manager |
PII |

(Note: I’ve just added numbers for the RTO and RPO. You should put some thought into the values for your submission. If you just list them all the same or they don’t make sense, it could cost you points on the assignment).
Data Owner: Some examples of Data Owners include the Registrar and student data; the Treasurer and financial data; the VP of Human Resources and employee data. In most cases, the Data Custodian is not the Data Owner. A system administrator or Data Custodian is a person who has technical control over an information asset dataset. While the CIO may be the data custodian, he/she is most likely NOT the owner of non-IT data.
Type of Sensitive Data Options:
· Electronic Patient Healthcare Information (ePHI) – any data retained by the organization that contains personal medical information, including that of employees and clients. Employee health coverage information in an HR file is not ePHI for our purposes – unless it included details on the coverage such as the account number, primary care physician, etc. Most HR records would only contain the name of the coverage (e.g. Blue Cross/Blue Shield HMO), but not the details.
· Payment Card Information (PCI) – any data retained by the organization that contains payment card information such as debit/credit card numbers with expiration dates, users’ names, security codes and/or billing information.
· Personally Identifiable Information (PII) – any data retained by the organization that contains personally identifiable information that could be used to identify an individual (or steal their identity) including names with social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, addresses, phone numbers, family members.
· Customer Confidential (Conf) – any data retained by the organization that has been labeled as confidential – i.e. limited in its access, distribution and use. Examples include executive meeting records; marketing and strategic plans not yet released; details of communications with and services provided to select client organizations; and company IT and InfoSec program details.
· Student Records (FERPA) – any data retained by the organization that contains academic information regarding an individual including names with student numbers, social security numbers, courses taken, grades assigned, academic integrity/misconduct issues, financial aid and/or other PII.
For our purposes, ePHI and FERPA are considered specialized versions of PII. If a data asset has no academic or medical content, just classify it as PII. If a component group contains multiple different classified data assets, list all that it contains.
RTO Tiers Options:
“Recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum desired length of time allowed between an unexpected failure or disaster and the resumption of normal operations and service levels. The RTO defines the point in time after a failure or disaster at which the consequences of the interruption become unacceptable.” (Clearwater IRM Help Menu).
Tier 0 = 30 minutes
Tier 1 = 1 hour
Tier 2 = 8 hours
Tier 3= 24 hours
Tier 4= 2 days
Tier 5= 1 week
RPO Tiers Options:
“A recovery point objective (RPO) is the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. It is the age of the files or data in backup storage required to resume normal operations if a computer system or network failure occurs.” (Clearwater IRM Help Menu).
Tier 0 = No data loss
Tier 1 = 4 hour data loss
Tier 2 = 8 hour data loss
Tier 3= 1 day data loss
Tier 4= 2 days data loss
Tier 5= 1 week data loss
A few assets have been added to the table to help you get started. You will need to identify the rest on your own. Add rows as needed.
