Abstract

As enterprises become dependent on information systems, the need for effective Information Security Governance (ISG) assumes significance. ISG manages risks relating to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information, and its supporting processes and systems, in an enterprise. Even a medium-sized enterprise contains a huge collection of information and other assets. Moreover, risks evolve rapidly in today’s connected digital world. Therefore, the proper implementation of ISG requires automation of the various monitoring, analysis, and control processes. This can be best achieved by representing information security requirements of an enterprise in a standard, structured format. This paper presents such a structured format in the form of Enterprise Security Requirement Markup Language (ESRML) Version 2.0. It is an XML-based language that considers the elements of ISO 27002 best practices.
