Evaluating Information and Cyber Security Orientation (ICSO) Within Organizations and Across Supply Chains

Information and Cyber Security Orientation (ICSO) reflects how effectively organizations align policies, technologies, and behaviors to protect information assets across supply chains. The ICSO scale developed by Aber Elsaleiby provides a structured way to assess technical, formal, and informal security controls using a five point Likert scale. Strong ICSO enables organizations to reduce risk, improve resilience, and support stable, agile, and secure supply chain performance.

By prioritizing information and cyber security orientation (ICSO), supply chain leaders can streamline their operations, enhance resilience, and strengthen the financial and market stability of their supply chains.

Information and Cyber Security Orientation Evaluation (ICSO)

To evaluate information and cybersecurity levels within and across organizations, leaders can use the information security and cyber orientation measurement (ICSO) scale developed by Elsaleiby in 2024. The ICSO scale assesses the adequacy of security policies, procedures, and controls inside organizations. The scale evaluates the level of the technical, formal, and informal security control measures implemented by organizations using survey items with responses rated using a 5-point Likert scale.
