Yesterday, John, the IT Manager walked pass the reception area in the nearly ready new premises. He saw the builder putting up a display sign next to the entrance of the building as shown the Figure below. He noticed a security concern and has asked you to complete a security risks assessment in the new premises. Figure 1In the risk assessment, you should run an IT Risk Assessment for network security in the new office environment. You must provide a Risk Assessment Report based on analysing the given information from this scenario. In this report, you must include:

•  Download the RiskAssessment_Template.docx from the Project section on the LMS, andthen follow the instruction on the template to complete this report.
• Refer to all the security facts in chapter 5 of the TestOut Security+ course and Appendix A of this learning guide. If the scenario doesn't provide any security related information regarding a software product, a device, a data storage item, or a physical environment option, you will need to make assumptions first, and then run a risk assessment on it.? We suggest that you begin with explaining why the IT manager didn't like the builder's display sign which advertised the server room location publicly. ? Your report should be around 1000 words in length. Save this document as SCP_Project_PA_Task1_xxx.docx (where xxx is your student ID)
