System ICT Security Policy and the Implementation by Local Authorities in Malaysia

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Information Management, grade: A, , course: Doctor of Philosophy in Informatics, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this project is to investigate and resolve problems related to the implementation of the security policy in Marang District Council. Furthermore, the ICT Security Policy System is to be designed, developed in order to assist the Information Technology Department (BTM). In addition, these documents must be compliant to the ISO 27001 standard and the Information Technology Security and Communication Policies for the Public Sector which is developed by MAMPU. The ICT Security Policy System is a web based system. All results would be presented and discussed. ICT Security Policy is a common topic that is being discussed in the public sector, because security incidents happen to organizations that offer online services to the public. These problems or incidents are also affecting the IT Department (BTM) at Marang District Council (MDM), as we also provide computer and internet facilities to our users. Based on the research findings, including inputs gathered from the respondents from Marang District Council, these problems can be reduced by providing a computerized ICT Policy document guideline, creating user awareness programs and by enforcing these ICT Policies.
