ISMS is a set of policies, activities, and procedures implemented by the Information Security Department to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information from threats and risks. Activities and procedures include identifying security needs, strategies required for implementation, and measuring results for security improvement. This paper aims to review the previous literature to verify the factors that affect information security management. Examination of current information security frameworks and standards, and this paper concluded that, for an organization to adopt a specific framework, this framework must be evaluated based on the security needs of the organization. The framework must include all factors that affect information security from all organizational aspects, people, and technology. Otherwise, the organization will face difficulties and obstacles in implementing the framework and improving security.

The importance of information and the possible risk of disruption, therefore the universities need to designed and implemented of the information security.  One of the standards that can be used to analyze the level of information security in the organization is ISO/IEC 27001 : 2013 and this standard has been prepared to provide requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system. The objective of this research is to measure the level of information security based on standard ISO/IEC 27001: 2013 and modeling systems for information security management. This research uses descriptive qualitative approach, data collection and validation techniques with tringulasi (interview, observation and documentation). Data was analyzed using gap analysis and to measure the level of maturity this research uses SSE-CMM (Systems Security Engineering Capability Maturity Model). Based on the research results, Maturity level clause Information Security Policy reaches level 1 (Performed-Informally), clause Asset Management reaches level 3 (Well-Defined), clause Access Control reaches level 3 (Well-Defined), clause Physical and Environmental Security reaches level 3 (Well-Defined), clause Operational Security reaches level 3 (Well-Defined), Communication Security clause reaches the level 2 (Planned and Tracked). Based on the results of maturity level discovery of some weakness in asset management in implementing the policy. Therefore, the modeling system using the flow map and CD / DFD focused on Asset Management System.

Purpose of research. The purpose of this study is to assess the possibility of applying the methodology for centralized management of systems and information risks using the example of informatization of public departments of Republic of Tyva in order to optimize the cost of purchasing technical, software and hardware-software means of protecting information, as well as the payroll of maintenance technical personnel.Methods. One of the main research methods is the creation of an experimental model of the mechanism of a single information and computing network, combining various government departments located within the same administrative building, which allows working simultaneously with distributed or centralized applications, databases and other services, as well as centralized information risk management security. The next research method is the analysis and study of the principle of operation of information resources, information systems, databases, and the increase in the number of domain users if they are combined into a single data transfer network. The interaction and effectiveness of personnel, a specialized unit based on one government agency, ensuring the regular functioning of the network and the necessary level of information security for all government departments.Results. As a result, an economic effect is achieved by eliminating the acquisition of duplicate software and hardware information protection, increasing the efficiency of using unified information services, and creating a centralized structural unit that uses risk management tools and makes information security management decisions based on the principles of system analysis , structuring method and expert survey methods. The results of the study have been used in solving problems of improving the information security management system of the authorities of Republic of Tyva.Conclusion. We have developed the original information technology architecture of the information security management system and centralized use of information technologies for the government of Republic of Tyva. The distinctive features of the structure of software tools for the centralized approach are the multi-agent implementation of the control elements of the decision support system and the integration of various types of security management models into a single complex.

Managing security is essential for organizations doing business in a globally networked environment and for organizations that are at the same time seeking to achieve their missions and goals. However, numerous technical advancements do not always produce a more secure environment. All kinds of human factors can deeply affect the management of security in an organizational context. Therefore, security is not solely a technical problem; rather, the authors need to understand human factors, which need adequate attention to achieve an effective information security management system practice. This paper identifies direct and indirect human factors that have impact on information security. These factors were analyzed through the study of two security incidents of the UK's financial organizations using the SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) technique. The study's results show that human factors are the main causes for these security incidents. Factors such as training, awareness, and security culture influence organizational strength and opportunity relating to information security. People's irrational behavior and errors are the main weaknesses highlighted in security incidents, which pose threats such as poor reputation and high costs.
