Assignment Task:
You are in the early stages of preparing a presentation for your organization's Global Partners Meeting to be held in Geneva. Executive management, inspired by your unstoppable drive for sustainable and viable information security practices across the organization, has asked you to prepare a presentation that will address the issues affecting global information security policies.
Prior to rolling out your recommended information security framework across the organization, executive management wants to be sure that there will a global, enterprise-wide acceptance of this framework. You know what your management keeps telling you..."What works in Portland must also work in Portugal, Paraguay and Peru."
As you look through your speaker notes, prepare a paper that examines and addresses exactly the question management seeks an answer to...what are the global issues that would affect information security policies, especially policies that may be in place today, within your own organization?
Please use the following documents (found by following the Supplemental Materials link for this chapter), to assist you in completing this assignment question:

Your paper, while broadly addressing the many issues that may affect the implementation and acceptance of information security policies, should also focus on what specific recommendations you would make to your management, to help with the general acceptance of information security policies within your organization, be they global or domestic in their scope.
