Abstract

The study was aimed to investigate the security governance model in organizational IT security implementation. A triangulate design has been applied to data collection from three sources websites, interviews, and survey. Automatic security measures controls have been adopted to minimize and control the human actions and the correspondence with the system. Important elements depicted from the findings include directing and monitoring actions within the IS/IT security. The IS/IT security governance model of the inter relationship among the three components of the Formal, Technical and the Informal are important to achieve the good practices of IS/IT security. The educational concept may also increase the organisational and the employee values. The study has affirmed positive prevalence of the trend that most of the companies are now considering to implement IT/IS security models for protected data.
