ABSTRACT

Despite the existence of referential and standards of security governance, the research literature remains limited regarding the practices of organizations and, on the other hand, the lack of a strategy and practical model to follow in adopting an effective information security governance (ISG). This study explores the engagement processes and the practices of organizations involved in a strategy of ISG. The statistical and econometric analysis of data from a survey of 1,000 participants (with a participation rate of (83.67%)) from large and medium companies belonging to various industries such as retail/wholesale, banking, services, telecom, private, and governmental organizations provides a record of current practices in information security governance. The findings allowed us to propose a practical framework to evaluate the ISG in organizations
