Integration of ISMS into the Organization’s Strategy and Its Impact on Security Culture in the Digital Environment

Information security is currently a key pillar of information protection in organizations and a fundamental element of functioning organizational strategy. The aim of this article is to analyze how the integration of an information security management system (ISMS) into the strategic management of an organization can influence its security culture and ability to implement new technologies. The study uses a conceptual approach based on the PDCA model and a comparative analysis of the available literature on ISMS, organizational culture, and digital transformation. The results of the study show that an effectively implemented ISMS can strengthen an organization’s resilience, increase the confidence of its stakeholders, and promote openness to adopting innovative solutions. It also points out that a developed security culture is a prerequisite for the proper and successful functioning of ISMS, especially in an environment of rapid technological change. The study offers recommendations for managers focused on integrating ISMS into strategic planning, strengthening security awareness, and continuously evaluating the maturity of security processes.
