Information Security Management Frameworks in Higher Education Institutions: An Overview

An overview of academic articles focused on information security management (ISM) in higher education institutions (HEIs) is presented. For this purpose, an empirical study was carried out. The articles found were then analyzed following a methodological procedure consisted of a systematic mapping study with their research questions, inclusion and exclusion criteria, selection of digital libraries, and analysis of the respective search strings. As a result, a set of information security management frameworks (ISMF) for HEIs were identified. They are based on standards such as ISO 27000, COBIT, ITIL, NIST and EDUCAUSE.
