How to design a method for measuring IT security in micro enterprises for IT security level measuring? A literature analysis
Michael Heidenreich · 2017
The author focuses on the issue of IT security for micro enterprises, specifically enterprises carrying out manual work considering German law and industrial requirements, with the aim of developing a self-implemented IT security assessment designed to identify threats and aid in increasing their security level. This is necessary because micro-enterprises contributing to the national economy have limited resources, preventing these enterprises from employing secure IT solutions seen in their larger counterparts. This insecurity can threaten innovative micro-enterprises as sensitive data may become accessible to malevolent parties. A systematic literature analysis is also carried out in this work to define requirements for a suitable assessment method. The solution were defined under attention of the German law and industrial requirements.
