How can a corporation determine the success of its information security program? One certainly needs objectives but how do you know when those objectives are met? A set of meaningful measurements is required for each objective that can be tracked and reviewed over time to meet a set target. The sum of objectives, measurements, and targets is what provides a corporation with the needed metrics.

MASE Consulting has developed documents in this area for our corporate customers. The following documents have been made generic to ensure they would be usable in your environment.
