Tim, You may want to take a look at one of our recently published technical reports titled "The Critical Success Factor Method: Establishing a Foundation for Enterprise Security Management." A link to the pdf file can be found under What's New on the CERT home page, http://www.cert.org. The report discusses how we have adapted John Rockhart's original work on CSFs at MIT (and his companion Harvard Business Review article) and applied it to enterprise security. Hope this helps.

Hello All, I am researching information security management at Universities and wondered if anyone knows of any previous specific research that has identified "critical success factors (CSF's) for information security management". I am aware of the CSF's for security specified in COBIT, have found an empirical study from sweden that identified critical success factors for an information security management system, and am aware of the new CSF method published through Carnegie Mellon University. Despite a lot of other searching I can't find anything else specifically on either critical or key success factors. Is anyone by chance aware of other previous research or white papers that exist on this topic?
