Business satisfaction is defined as confidence in important security areas and minimal friction for business processes.
Security Importance and Confidence
Security Friction Address high friction areas with the business and modify security practices as necessary.
Identify the business perspective on security importance and confidence at the department and organizational level. Low importance scores for "My Department" might reflect under-valuing their own day-to-day security practices. Similarly, low confidence scores might reveal hidden vulnerabilities (e.g., staff sharing passwords).

Follow These Steps to Close Gaps and Improve Satisfaction 1. Meet with business users to explore scores that are misaligned – e.g., are confidence gaps due to perception only or are concerns founded in sub-optimal security practices? 2. For importance and confidence gaps, identify the root cause and review related practices. For example, if mobility confidence is low, is the underlying concern protecting data on mobile devices or preventing malware attacks? Similarly, if mobility security has a high importance score due to data concerns, then also review overall data access/integrity security concerns. 3. For security satisfaction low scores and gaps, identify the specific practices that are deemed too restrictive or cumbersome, and the underlying causes of dissatisfaction. For example, if remote access friction is actually due to usability issues with the VPN client and not security policies, then the issue may be solved by exploring alternative VPN client solutions. In other cases, it may be necessary to re-align end-user perspectives on security requirements. 4. For governance responsibility gaps, determine the potential points of friction (e.g., time commitment) to move towards joint responsibility so you can have an informed discussion of what is appropriate. For example, joint responsibility does not mean identical time commitments. In risk analysis, for example, it's still IT's responsibility to identify and present risks and mitigation options; the business role is to provide feedback on risk tolerance. 5. Leverage Info-Tech's Security Effectiveness reports for a deeper review of security practices.

Scoring Methodology
Computer Business Inc.
Importance and Confidence This chart type is used to present a breakdown of responses as well as an overall average score.
.
Security Friction For security friction, a high score indicates high friction, which is a negative result. Therefore a high score is color-coded as red (not green).
.
Responsibility for Security Governance Security governance is improved when there is joint responsibility between IT and the business. Therefore, a middle score is a positive result and is color-coded as green.
