I don’t understand this Computer Science question and need help to study.

Week two scenario Your company is a security service contractor that consults with businesses that are considered “covered entities” under HIPAA in the U.S. who require assistance in their compliance with HIPAA. You advertise a proven track record in providing information program security management, information security governance programs, risk management programs, and regulatory and compliance recommendations. You identify vulnerabilities, threats, and risks for clients with the end goal of securing and protecting applications and systems within their organization.

Your client is Health Coverage Associates, a health insurance exchange in California and a covered entity. Because of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), the exchange enables individuals and small businesses to purchase health insurance at federally subsidized rates. In the past 6 months, they have experienced:

Vulnerability #1: A malware attack (i.e., SQL Injection) on a critical software application that processed and stored client Protected Health Information (PHI) allowing access to PHI stored within the database
Vulnerability #2: An internal mistake by an employee that allowed PHI to be emailed to the wrong recipient who was not authorized access to the PHI
Vulnerability #3: An unauthorized access to client accounts through the company’s login website via the cracking of weak passwords
Based on the scenario for the Week Two Individual Assignment and utilizing the work you have done on the Security Assessment Plan and Security Assessment Report, develop a corresponding Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M).

Develop a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint® presentation, including an introduction and conclusion slide with detailed speaker notes, documenting the POA&M specifics for each vulnerability, to be presented to the leadership of Health Coverage Associates. Include the following for each vulnerability as transcribed from the POA&M Template:

Accurately summarize the life cycle approach taken based on NIST SP 800-30 and including the Six Steps and Artifacts from each Step (e.g., SAP, SAR, POA&M)
Summarize each line item in the POA&M
For each vulnerability, logically justify the following:
Policy
Scheduled Completion Date
Required Resources
Organizational Department
Milestones
Be sure to include supportive graphics and appropriate backgrounds and styles. All references need to adhere to APA guidelines.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
