Steven,

You are correct that information security metrics are still a rather nascent. Good starting points for research are NIST SP800-55 [1] and the Corporate Information Security Working Group report from 2004 [2]. I would expect ISO/IEC27004 to provide additional authoritative guidance, though its release is still a ways off. In addition, I put together a short write-up of some of the challenges I have experienced building security metrics programs; you might find it helpful[3].

Good luck!

All,


I am currently establishing a set of key performance indicators for our
security office and while looking around for general practices etc I get
the impression there is not much available out there. (or did I look in
the wrong places? ) Anybody has some feedback or online resources on
KPI's within Information Security?
