Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products, including: home goods, clothing, toys, and food. The company is a regional retailer with 10 brick-and-mortar stores as well as a popular online store. Due to the recent credit card data breaches of various prominent national retail companies (e.g., Target, Home Depot, Staples), the Bullzeye Board of Directors has taken particular interest in information security, especially as it pertains to the protection of credit cardholder data within the Bullzeye environment. The Board has asked executive management to evaluate and strengthen the enterprise’s information security infrastructure, where needed. In order to respond to the Board regarding their preparedness for a cyber-security attack, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has engaged your IT consulting firm to identify the inherent risks and recommend control remediation strategies to prevent or to detect and appropriately respond to data breaches. Your firm has been requested to liaison with the Internal Audit Department during the engagement. Your first step is to gain an understanding of Bullzeye’s IT environment. The Chief Audit Executive (CAE) schedules a meeting with key Bullzeye leadership personnel, including the CFO, Chief Information Officer (CIO), and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). The following key information was obtained. Background IT Security Framework/Policy - Bullzeye has an information security policy, which was developed by the CISO. The policy was developed in response to an internal audit conducted by an external firm hired by the CAE. The policy is not based on one specific IT control framework but considers elements contained within several frameworks. An information security committee has been recently formed to discuss new security risks and to develop mitigation strategies. The meeting will be held monthly and include the CISO and other key IT Directors reporting to the CIO. In addition, a training program was implemented last year in order to provide education on various information security topics (e.g., social engineering, malware, etc.). The program requires that all staff within the IT department complete an annual information security training webinar and corresponding quiz. The training program is complemented by a monthly e-mail sent to IT staff, which highlights relevant information security topics. General IT Environment - Most employees in the corporate office are assigned a standard desktop computer, although certain management personnel in the corporate and retail locations are issued a laptop if they can demonstrate their need to work remotely. The laptops are given a standard Microsoft Windows operating system image, which includes anti-malware/anti-virus software and patch update software among others. In addition, new laptops are now encrypted; however, desktops and existing laptops are not currently encrypted due to budget concerns. The user provisioning.

Boulding (1956) looked at the complexity of systems from a hierarchical approach or a system of systems perspective. Boulding’s hierarchy includes nine levels of systems: frameworks, clockworks, cybernetic systems, open systems, plants, animals, humans, social organizations, and transcendental. This was one of the first major papers on systems and is the foundation for more complex theories and models. You will continue to explore complex systems in the coming weeks. To prepare for this Discussion, review Boulding’s article, “General Systems Theory: The Skeleton of Science” and Von Bertalanffy’s article, “The History and Status of General Systems Theory.” Consider how Boulding’s hierarchy of systems may inform your understanding of organizations. Post, your perspective on the relationship between Boulding’s hierarchy of systems and Von Bertalanffy’s general systems theory. Then, explain how these theories have or have not changed your perceptions of a system. Finally, explain how Boulding’s hierarchy might inform leadership and management in organizations. .
