A Theoretical Model for Iran E-Government Information Security Assessment, A Strategy for the Realization of A Desirable Information Society

 


 

Embedding the direction of all matters, processes and activities with the information society in the context of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a kind of movement towards safe IT Governance. If this process to be executed permanently and sustainable in the framework of vision, it can be a competitive advantage for achieving the ultimate goals of the document of vision, especially in science and technology section the Infrastructure of e-government includes the basic requirements of information society and IT Governance.
The purpose of this research is to present a valid theoretical model for Iran e-government information security assessment.  model for assessment e-government security to achieve a safe information society and sustainable development with participating of public and private sectors in order to accomplish the goals of national vision and remaining in the first place of science and technology and also constructive interactions in the global information society.
In this work, by addressing newest best practice and successful experiences in this field and reviewing outputs, outcomes and challenges of laws, regulations, programs, projects, strategic documents and comprehensive plans, the appropriate framework in different dimensions, requirements, drivers and  barriers will be presented. Then the parameters and criteria of model are deposited to experts in the public and private sectors to test their validity, reliability and validation.
For assessing validity, accuracy and reliability of model, First, we should collect the rate of parameters and elements which assigned by selected experts via questionnaire in the form of a table. Second, calculating total score of each parameter by using geometric mean, then based on experts view, the parameters relations with the higher degree of importance, accuracy are collected and the result is inserted in the interaction table. Using DEMATEL method, decision about hierarchy of influence, importance and priority ranking of the basic elements and parameters of the proposed model will be made. The result of this process will be a valid theoretical model for Iran e-government information security assessment as a Strategy for the realization of a desirable information society which is approved by IT and information security experts.
