With the outbreak of COVID-19, contact tracing is becoming a used intervention to control the spread of this highly infectious disease. This article explores an individual's intention to adopt COVID-19 digital contact tracing (DCT) apps. A conceptual framework developed for this article combines the procedural fairness theory, dual calculus theory, protection motivation theory, theory of planned behavior, and Hofstede's cultural dimension theory. The study adopts a quantitative approach collecting data from 714 respondents using a random sampling technique. The proposed model is tested using structural equation modeling. Empirical results found that the perceived effectiveness of privacy policy negatively influenced privacy concerns, whereas perceived vulnerability had a positive influence. Expected personal and community-related outcomes of sharing information positively influenced attitudes toward DCT apps, while privacy concerns had a negative effect. The intention to adopt DCT apps were positively influenced by attitude, subjective norms, and privacy self-efficacy. This article is the first to empirically test the adoption of DCT apps of the COVID-19 pandemic and contributes both theoretically and practically toward understanding factors influencing its widespread adoption.

“…The OSBBQ is a theoretically informed measure that has been studied and validated within an adult corporate employee population. 10,11,14 This study modified the questionnaire slightly to make the wording of these questions applicable college students to examine the factor structure's fit.…”

“…The current study utilizes the OSBBQ, a self-report, Likert-scaled questionnaire consisting of 75 items assessing multiple domains of information security and associated behaviors. 10,11,14 Participants completed the questionnaire by responding to all 75 items, and the researchers score the questionnaire, with each question being scored within its individual construct to create subscale scores for each of the 13 distinct constructs ( Table 1). Initially developed for use in a corporate or workplace setting, minor changes in wording were implemented (i.e., changing ''organization'' to ''university'') to facilitate relevance to typical college students who are unlikely to have experience in corporate or workplace environments.…”

“…11 According to the previous research, the OSBBQ can be separated into multiple factors, each of which assess different manifest constructs within the latent constructs of online security behaviors and online security beliefs. 10,11,14 As a result, the OSBBQ is able to provide more information than other assessments, and allows its users to assess various aspects, of online security beliefs and behaviors.…”

The Online Security Behaviors and Beliefs Questionnaire is a 75-item self-report inventory assessing awareness, attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs toward various aspects of cybersecurity best practices. The questionnaire was originally constructed and validated for use with adult employees in corporate settings, with the measure assessing 13 latent constructs. The goal of this study was to adapt the questionnaire to implement it with a college sample and examine if the identified factor structure for use with this population. Data were collected from 735 students at two public universities in the Southeastern region of Virginia, 676 of whom were retained for analyses. Confirmatory factor analysis using the means and variances adjusted weighted least squares method was conducted using Mplus 8.1 to assess goodness of model fit. The 13-factor model failed to meet criteria for exact or approximate model fit: v 2 (2701) = 44569.85, p < 0.001; root mean square error of approximation = 0.07, 95 percent confidence interval [0.06-0.07]; confirmatory fit index = 0.86; Tucker Lewis index = 0.85. The results suggest significant differences between cybersecurity awareness, attitudes, and beliefs between the corporate workplace and college student populations that ultimately influenced the reliability and validity of the questionnaire when adapted for use with college students in the United States. It is also possible that the theoretical underpinnings of this questionnaire may not apply, or they may apply differently, in this sample of predominantly African American and Caucasian students.

“…This happens in the field of banking, since such type of organizations, which have operational risk, also have its own business risk (Shamala et al, 2015). Therefore, they might lose their ability to properly manage information and their critical processes (customers, suppliers and internal processes) can be affected by even stopping working (OECD 2005;COM, 2006;Pérez-González & Solana-González, 2006) due to the increase in cyber-attacks (Li et al, 2019).…”

Information security is a current issue of protection of information assets that considers significant variables of a strategic, organizational and IT governance nature, and that requires to analyze the compliance with international standards that regulate business actions. In this way, the work analyzes institutional compliance to improve information security applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process methodology to the specific practices defined in ISO/IEC 27002:2013. Expert Choice has been used as Decision Support Systems that has generated as a result the ranking of priorities of the criteria and alternatives used in the decisional process. It has been later applied in a medium-sized Brazilian industrial company. The results identify that the main security practice is the one related to the independent critical analysis of information security.
