| description | This study examined the existence and implementation of information security governance (ISG) in the state-owned-enterprises (SOE) in Zimbabwe. The study examined the implementation of information security
governance in SOEs in Zimbabwe. This exploratory study was conducted using semi-structured interviews to
collect data from a simple random sample. Interviews were also carried out with a composition of 13 Board
members, 18 Executive management and 26 IT Executives. The data was then arranged into tables and for
simple interpretation. The results of the study revealed that information security governance in SOE in
Zimbabwe is still lagging behind. Despite the majority of Zimbabwe SOE recognizing the importance of ISG,
most of them have no clear information security strategies or written information security policy statements. The study recommends that the state-owned-enterprises use IT governance frameworks such as COBIT, ITIL and BS17009. |
