Thesis (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Enterprise mobility is emerging as a megatrend in the business world. Numerous
risks originate from using mobile devices for business-related tasks and most of
these risks pose a significant security threat to organisations’ information.
Organisations should therefore apply due care during the process of governing the
significant enterprise mobility security risks to ensure an effective process to mitigate
the impact of these risks.
Information technology (IT) governance frameworks, -models and -standards can
provide guidance during this governance process to address enterprise mobility
security risks on a strategic level. Due to the existence of the IT gap these risks are
not effectively governed on an operational level as the IT governance frameworks,
-models and -standards do not provide enough practical guidance to govern these
risks on a technical, operational level.
This study provides organisations with practical, implementable guidance to apply
during the process of governing these risks in order to address enterprise mobility
security risks in an effective manner on both a strategic and an operational level.
The guidance given to organisations by the IT governance frameworks, -models and
-standards can, however, lead to the governance process being inefficient and
costly. This study therefore provides an efficient and cost-effective solution, in the
form of a short list of best practices, for the governance of enterprise mobility
security risks on both a strategic and an operational level. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ondernemingsmobiliteit kom deesdae as ‘n megatendens in die besigheidswêreld te
voorskyn. Talle risiko's ontstaan as gevolg van die gebruik van mobiele toestelle vir
sake-verwante take en meeste van hierdie risiko's hou 'n beduidende
sekuriteitsbedreiging vir organisasies se inligting in. Organisasies moet dus tydens
die risikobestuursproses van wesenlike mobiliteit sekuriteitsrisiko’s die nodige sorg
toepas om ‘n doeltreffende proses te verseker ten einde die impak van hierdie
risiko’s te beperk.
Informasie tegnologie (IT)- risikobestuurraamwerke, -modelle en -standaarde kan op
‘n strategiese vlak leiding gee tydens die risikobestuursproses waarin mobiliteit
sekuriteitsrisiko’s aangespreek word. As gevolg van die IT-gaping wat bestaan, word
hierdie risiko’s nie effektief op ‘n operasionele vlak bestuur nie aangesien die ITrisikobestuurraamwerke,
-modelle en -standaarde nie die nodige praktiese leiding
gee om hierdie risiko’s op ‘n tegniese, operasionele vlak te bestuur nie.
Om te verseker dat organisasies mobiliteit sekuriteitsrisiko’s op ‘n effektiewe manier
op beide ‘n strategiese en operasionele vlak bestuur, verskaf hierdie studie praktiese,
implementeerbare leiding aan organisasies wat tydens die bestuursproses van
hierdie risiko’s toegepas kan word.
Die leiding aan organisasies, soos verskaf in die IT-risikobestuurraamwerke, -
modelle en -standaarde, kan egter tot’n ondoeltreffende en duur
risikobestuursproses lei. Hierdie studie bied dus 'n doeltreffende, koste-effektiewe
oplossing, in die vorm van 'n kort lys van beste praktyke, vir die bestuur van die
mobiliteit sekuriteitsrisiko’s op beide 'n strategiese en 'n operasionele vlak.
