dc.description.abstract | Despite increasing investment in information security and its strategic role in today’s business success,
effective implementation of information security strategies still remains one of the top challenges
facing global organizations. This study investigated Information Security Policy compliance of staff
members of a municipality in South Africa. Factors such as information security policy, security policy
strategic planning, policy implementation and compliance were considered. A questionnaire was
distributed to 80 staff members from different sections in this municipality and a response rate of
100% was achieved. The study findings showed that the majority of employees are largely in support of
the municipality’s efforts to develop and implement a security policy framework. They also concur that
compliance to security policy safeguards and prevents intrusion information, theft and "denial of
service". Among other issues, it is recommended that more training and awareness campaigns should
be done to all employees in order to improve security of information in this municipality. The study
results can be limited by the small number of the population as indicated that the sample was equal to
the population (N=n). | en_US |
