The PDCA Cycle of ISO/IEC 27005:2008 Maturity Assessment Framework

Most of the IT risk management framework/standard has not been given the tools to assess the maturity level. In fact, this information provides the basis for evaluation, repair and improvement of IT risk management of the Organization. This research objective is to design a framework that can be used to assess the maturity level of PDCA Cycle in ISO/IEC 27005. The PDCA Cycle is the managerial approach of this standard. Therefore, PDCA Cycle can represent the IT risk management based on ISO/IEC 27005. The assessment framework consists of a model, method and assessment worksheet. The model covers four assessment area (Plan, Do, Check, and Act), detail of the assessment area (8 domains, 35 subdomains and 82 elements), metric and assessment criteria which are supported by the method and worksheet assessment. The model represents the maturity of all processes (Plan, Do, Check, and Act) based on the clauses of ISO/IEC 27005. This Framework gives an enhancement of the existing model of; (1) all processes representation, (2) metric definition, (3) method for identifying evidences and (4) detail elements to repair and improve.
