Information security, sometimes referred as enterprise security, plays a very important and professional role in the enterprises. Therefore, information security management is getting more and more popularity among the enterprises in recent years. Several aspects on information, such as technical documents, research and development plans, product quotations, are considered as core assets in one company. How to effectively manage and realize an information security system has become a key for a company¡¦s survival.
The international information security management standard, ISO 27001:2005, which includes personnel security, technology security, physical security and management security has been promulgated. When bringing in an information security management system, a company usually embraces the process-oriented approach which treats the system¡¦s structure view and behavior view separately. Separating structure view from behavior view during the planning phase may cause many difficulties, such as uneven distribution of resources, poor safety performance, bad risk management, poor system management and so on, when working on the later realization and verification phase of the information security management system¡¦s construction.
Up to date, there is no enterprise architecture theory for information security management system. This research utilizes architecture-oriented modeling methodology so that structure view and behavior view are coalesced when decomposing the information security management system to obtain structural elements and behaviors deriving from interactions among these structure elements. By adopting structure behavior coalescence, abbreviated as SBC, which includes ¡§architecture hierarchy diagram", "structure element diagram", "structure element service diagram", "structure element connection diagram", "structure behavior coalescence diagram", and "interactive flow diagram", this research constructs a complete architecture-oriented information security management model, abbreviated as AOISMM. This research is the first study using architecture-oriented approach to construct the information security management system. Also, AOISMM solves many difficulties caused by the process-oriented approach when constructing information security management systems. These are the contributions of this research.
