CYB-650 - Smart Electric Company Web Portal Data Flow Diagram Project

This assignment provides a data flow diagram for the Smart Electric Company's web portal, detailing the interactions between users (customer service, customers, and admin), the technical requirements (web browser, internet connection, and server setup), and the data storage processes. It identifies related systems such as e-commerce websites and inventory management systems, and outlines regulatory requirements for system integrity. The document also covers risk approaches, including identifying and evaluating risks, and managing changes within the system. Furthermore, it describes IT tasks such as user registration, verification, and access control, and the generation of system reports. The solution is designed to meet the requirements of the CYB-650 course, focusing on operational compliance and security.

IDENTIFICATION OF RELATED SYSTEMS
A web portal is an application that is an internet based. Some related systems to this include the
use of online web applications such as the e-commerce websites, the point of sales software and
the online inventory management systems.
Some of the regulatory requirement include building up policy standards which will ensure that
the integrity of the system is made totally secured. The standards include the use of individual
passwords and usernames to login to the system. The following are some of the related systems
1. Salesforce CRM
2. E-commerce websites
3. Inventory management system

Risk Approaches
The Risk approach is ensuring that there is a system admin who will be responsible for all the
processes and the transaction taking place within the system. It is the work of the admin to
identify the Loopholes which may lead to the system being insecure. The admin will look into it
and correct the mistakes. The following are the risk approaches which have been used;

1. Identify the Risks – incidents and the impacts of the incident to the system
2. Evaluate Risks – setting up a security policy and Risk tolerance behaviors
3. Treat Risks – accept or avoid the Risks
4. Manage Changes – make any change where necessary
IT Tasks
The user can register on the portal and the verification code will be required to be generated for
validation. The code will be send to the email address where the user will confirm it by login into
the email and clicking on the Link. The user will be filling on the form that is provided on the
portal and each section must be able to recognize its use. It must be able to identify that a valid
email address has been used. An access control is need for all the registered users so that they
can be able to login to the system using biometrics. The system will display the reports regarding
all the processes and transactions within the system.
