Information Security is not a task that can be completed in a given amount of time; rather it is an ongoing and never-ending process. Presently, Social Networking Sites account for the highest number of internet users and the daily internet traffic. In this work, social network security quantification is carried out based on five security factors which are: Authentication, Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability and Non-repudiation. Users’ responses were generated through the use of questionnaires which were administered via Google docs. From the result analysis, it was discovered that most social network users do receive requests or messages from individuals they do not know, at times they find it difficult to access their profile information on time. Most users usually receive a message that their information has been accessed elsewhere; hence social networking site is not safe for confidential messages and information.
