Journal of Information Privacy and Security, 2009, vol. 5, issue 4, 51-67

Abstract: Organizations are expected to manage the overall information security posture through various information security evaluation methodologies. Current information security evaluation methodologies have limitations which are discussed. This paper utilizes benchmark variables to examine a stages-of-growth perspective of the information security function. Findings show correlation between six of the eight benchmark variables. The findings also show a positive relationship between the number of information security policies and more advanced stages of information security posture. The results shed light on the current state of information security in organizations.
