An Implementation Framework (IF) for the National Information Assurance and Cyber Security Strategy (NIACSS) of Jordan
This addresses the challenge of systematically implementing cybersecurity strategies for Jordan, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing strategy documents without introducing fundamentally new technical methods.
The paper tackles the problem of implementing Jordan's National Information Assurance and Cyber Security Strategy by proposing a flexible framework that analyzes the strategy, designs strategic moves, and establishes adaptable controls, aiming to improve areas like information security management and resource utilization.
This paper proposes an implementation framework that lays out the ground for a coherent, systematic, and comprehensive approach to implement the National Information Assurance and Cyber Security Strategy (NIACSS) of Jordan. The Framework 1). Suggests a methodology to analyze the NIACSS, 2). Illustrates how the NIACSS analysis can be utilized to design strategic moves and develop an appropriate functional structure, and 3). proposes a set of adaptable strategic controls that govern the NIACSS implementation and allow achieving excellence, innovation, efficiency, and quality.The framework, if adopted, is expected to harvest several advantages within the following areas: information security implementation management, control and guidance, efforts consolidation, resource utilization, productive collaboration, and completeness. The framework is flexible and expandable; therefore, it can be generalized.
