"Some Employees More Likely to Adhere to Information Security Policies Than Others"

A new study conducted by Binghamton University, State University of New York, suggests that an organization's subcultures influence whether or not employees violate Information Security Policies (ISP). As each subculture within an organization responds differently to the organization-wide ISP, researchers recommend that the development of ISP involves consulting with each of these subcultures. Organizations are encouraged to examine the design and implementation of ISP, and to work closely with employees to figure out how they could fit ISP compliance into their work responsibilities and priorities. This article continues to discuss the performance and findings of the study on how subcultures influence ISP compliance.
