Evaluating Individual Involvement in Shaping Information Security Culture

Abstract

In the increasingly advanced digital era, information security has become a crucial aspect for various organizations worldwide. In facing these challenges, organizations rely not only on sophisticated security technologies but also on active participation and involvement of individuals in shaping a strong information security culture. Information security culture encompasses the attitudes, values, and behaviors of individuals when it comes to addressing information security risks. This research aims to evaluate the individual involvement in shaping the information security culture within an organization. The study will involve measuring the level of individual awareness of information security, individual knowledge of information security, compliance with security policies and procedures, as well as individual behaviors in maintaining information security. Data collection will be done using a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. Awareness has an average total score of 13.20833333 and an average dimension score of 4.40277778. Meanwhile, knowledge has the same value as compliance and behavior, with an average total score of 13.27083333 and an average dimension score of 4.42361111. The results of this research reveal that the research subject has the lowest awareness value compared to other dimensions, while knowledge, compliance, and behavior have the same values. Overall, the research subject exhibits a relatively good information security culture, although it is not perfect.
