Abstract
This dissertation will be limited to the compilation of an Information Security Policy Architecture for a Tertiary Institution. An Information Security Policy Architecture for a Tertiary Institution is probably the most challenging architecture to develop in an environment where information accessibility is promoted.
The Security Policy Architecture is a component of a complete Information Security Architecture, which will not be addressed in this dissertation.
To mitigate and manage risks, it is essential to know what the information technology risks are and as a second step, to actively manage these risks to ensure that they stay within acceptable limits. The reporting and the monitoring of these risks open new fields of research and will not be discussed in this dissertation.
