Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a holistic cyber security implementation framework (HCS-IF) that lays out the ground for a conceptual, coherent, systematic, overarching and consolidated approach to implement cyber security strategies (CSSs). Design/methodology/approach – The HCS-IF is conceptually proposed to address the actual needs that are extracted from literature review. The HCS-IF uses and integrates a set of high-level conceptual security controls, solutions, processes, entities, tools, techniques or mechanisms that are already known in the domains of information security management, software engineering and project management to address the identified needs. Findings – The HCS-IF components and controls collectively interact and cooperate to implement CSSs. The proposed framework is compared with other related frameworks, and the results show that the HCS-IF outperforms other frameworks on most of the suggested comparison criteria. Originality/value – From a practical standpoint, governments and practitioners alike stand to gain from the findings of this research. Governments who want to implement CSSs on a national level will find the proposed framework useful in overseeing cyber security implementation. Practitioners will be prepared to address the anticipated cyber security implementation challenges and the required controls needed to facilitate cyber-security implementation in a holistic overarching manner.

“…In order to ensure the security of information systems containing sensitive information, it is necessary for internal audit to contribute towards the same protection goals (Eling and Schnell, 2016;Steinbart et al, 2018). Fielden (2011) proposed a holistic framework for information security, including social and technological factors. Technological advances are indispensable for the establishment of an effective digital auditing system (Lois et al, 2019a).…”

Businesses operate in a dynamic environment that is constantly changing and in which they are undermined by various risks. One in particular, is that of cyber security. Internal auditors, through their multifaceted role, can contribute to the reduction of the information systems' violation. Extant works, nevertheless, on the connection between internal audit and cyber security worldwide, are scant, and practically non-existent for the case of Greece. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine the variables that influence cyber security and which, at the same time, are relevant to internal audit. In this context, methodologically, a questionnaire was distributed to companies listed 26 P. Lois et al. on the Athens Stock Exchange and addressed to their internal auditors. The findings of the survey identified key factors impacting cyber security, including the degree and nature of cooperation between IT staff and auditors, and training regarding information technology.
