Abstract

As the world advances towards the computing era, security threats keeps on increasing in the form of malware, viruses, internet attack, theft of IS assets / technology and a lot more. This is a major concern for any form of business. Loss in company’s status / liability / reputation is a huge downfall for a running business. We have witnessed the attacks getting carried out; large firm’s data getting breached / government bodies’ sites getting phished / attacked. These huge entities have technology expertise to safeguard their company’s interest against such attacks through investing huge amounts of capital in manpower and secure tools. But what about SMEs? SMEs enrich a huge part of the country’s economy. Big organizations have their own security measures policy which ideally is not applied when it comes to a SME. The aim of this paper is to come out with an Information Security Assurance Cyber Control for SMEs (ISACC) against common cyber security threats implemented at a cost effective measure.
