Abstract :
The purpose of the study is to discuss
fundamental information security control measures that
can be used to develop a model to determine organization
information security preparedness level. The model
utilizes a web-based platform containing specific
information security indicators against which
governments can assess their capability to protect egovernance systems. The study adopted design science
research methodology to implement the model. The target
population were selected based on their knowledge,
experience and roles in e-governance. The study adopted
cluster and simple random sampling methods. To
evaluate the model, a goal-based approach was used. The
study established that technological, environmental and
organization controls measures directly contribute to
organization information security and that their
individual implementations level affects the security
posture of an organization. The study provides a method
by which governments can use to assess their information
security control measures and hence work towards
improving their organizational information security
posture.
