in the contemporary world; which enjoys highly advanced technology. For many reasons,
many companies have gone paperless and preferred online operations. The advancing
technology is, however, simultaneous to the evolution of scope of threats and vulnerability to
cybersecurity. A single data security incidence can result in serious damage to the company.
It therefore important that organisations set up security infrastructure as well as effective
policies for the information technology of the organisation to stay protected. Just like any
other strategic plan, information security planning entails setting long term goals, establishing
the directions and constraints which will guide the tactical achievement as well as
identification of assets that the organisation needs for the plan execution. A clear and concise
information security plan enables executives as well as employees to focus their efforts in the
right direction, know their responsibilities and evaluate their goal achievement.
An information security plan enables an organisation to minimise the risk of information
related to its employees, business operations and processes, technologies as well as plans
from landing on the wrong hands. That way, it protects the confidentiality and integrity of a
company. It also offers the organisation a competitive advantage by protecting its information
from rival businesses. A comprehensive security plan addresses general and specific threats.
