Development of the Automated Information System for Organization’s Information Security Culture Level Assessment

Abstract

Relevance of the research. Ensuring the effectiveness of the information security systems requires creation of an appropriate information security culture for the employees of the organization in order to reduce human-related risks. Target setting. The techniques currently available for assessing information security risk are excluded as a source of the potential vulnerability. Considering the role of the personnel in the organization's information security systems, there is a need to create automated systems of human-machine interaction assessment through the level of the personnel information security culture, and to determine the integral indicator of the organization's information security culture. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Open access publications on the problems of integrating the information security culture into the corporate culture of the organization as a tool for ensuring the proper information security level of business processes are considered. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The absence of formalized models for assessing the organization's information security culture level, as well as an automated process for its assessing were revealed by source analysis. The research objective. The purpose of the article to build a model that describes the process of obtaining an organization's information security culture level assessment in IDEF0 notation. Then, to create an architecture and database for system of information security culture assessment to support the general organization's information security system. The statement of basic materials. According to functional requirements, a conceptual model of «The organization`s ISC level determination» development process was created. Input information, governing elements, execution elements and mechanism, and output information were defined. To accomplish these tasks, an architecture and database of information system for assessing the information security culture level of the organization were proposed. Conclusions. The functional model of top-level development process was proposed. Formed functional requirements became the basis for development of information system architecture with description of its modules and database structure.
