4.2 Information systems security governance and
deviant behavior
Anomie theory presents an appropriate
epistemological base to study behavioral aspects of
information systems security governance. Even
though residing at an informal level of security
management, the importance of individual values,
norms and awareness culture, in an organizational
setting has been identified and constantly
highlighted in the security literature. This theory
provides a conceptual lens to understand the various
sources of deviant behavior in a group setting.
Using the taxonomy suggested by this theoretical
framework, research in information systems security
governance could be informed with better models
about management of deviant behaviors at
individual and group levels. Importance of
reinforcement of positive behavior and attitude
should be encouraged for sound security governance
practices and similarly strong deterrent actions
should be taken against individual deviant behavior
in a group. Conformity to rules, laws and policies is
the backbone of strong information systems security
governance structure. This model, validated by a
methodology, would help to find better means of
understanding the underlying causes of negative
attitudes of employees towards conformity and
provide solutions to deal with such situations.
5. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE RESEARCH
This paper reviews the current research in
information systems security governance from a
behavioral perspective. The findings of this paper
informs research by identifying the range of
emergent issues and listing various theories being
used in behavioral domain of security governance
research. The paper also highlights the need for
better security management techniques for
“formally managing the informal” aspects of
information systems security. A theoretical
framework appropriate for behavioral information
systems security governance is suggested. The
proposed framework, borrowed from the discipline
of sociology, is arguably a conceptual fit to study
the values and behavior of individuals in a group
setting. A Study of underlying factors of deviant
behavior of individuals is potentially useful for
better security governance practices.
Contributions to existing security governance
literature are theoretical as well as practical. This
paper provides a theoretical framework appropriate
for information systems security governance
research. This theory, best to our knowledge, has
not been used to a great extent in information
systems research. Applying a theoretical lens from
another discipline to investigate security governance
issues is a contribution to information systems
research. This framework needs empirical validation
in a security governance context. This framework
can inform practitioner community about better
management of employees by assessment of
individual value systems in an organizational
setting. Further research in this direction entails
assessment of individual values and ethics of
potential employees and predicting behavior from
these results. Results from such an assessment could
be applied to real world as a tool to screen job
candidates for high profile security positions.
The findings emphasize the significance of
contextual factors such as security culture and
individual beliefs for better governance output. A
comprehensive and stable security governance
infrastructure is created with a long-term
commitment to a proactive, security conscious and
efficient work force.
