ABSTRACT
To ensure security, it is important to build-in security in both the planning and the design phases and adapt a security architecture which makes sure that regular and security related tasks, are deployed correctly. Security requirements must be linked to the business goals. We identified four domains that affect security at an organization namely, organization governance, organizational culture, the architecture of the systems, and service management. In order to identify and explore the strength and weaknesses of particular organization’s security, a wide range model has been developed. This model is proposed as an information security maturity model (ISMM) and it is intended as a tool to evaluate the ability of organizations to meet the objectives of security.
