QUESTION

The development of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that could be independently audited and certified grew from a series of initiatives sponsored by ISO. As it developed as an industry-based standard, there was little academic research behind its evolution.

Part 1

In this part, you will identify and review academic research undertaken since 2000, specifically in the domain of information security management. You should critically analyse the research topics and their conclusions and produce a research report that covers the following issues:

1. An analysis of the information security domains covered by research (such as risk, controls, behaviour, standardisation, technologies etc.) noting the papers in each area and their increase/decrease within domain since 2000.

2. An analysis of the paper sponsors or supporters (pure academic, industry sponsored, standards sponsored, military etc.) noting the papers in each area and their increase/decrease within domain since 2000.

It is expected that your review should cover at least 30 papers at a high level and an additional five papers at a more detailed level. The academic papers must come from accepted academic sources and be fully referenced. Your appendices should include the full references to ALL papers reviewed.

Please include a word count of Length: 2,500 words, not including appendixes/references
