Abstract:
As digital transformation accelerates, information security has become a
top priority for organizations seeking to protect sensitive data from cyber threats. A
Security Information Management System (SIMS) plays a critical role in enabling
organizations to systematically manage and sustain their information security efforts.
This research explores the implementation of an open-source SIMS to support IT
security audits, focusing on the system's effectiveness, efficiency, and adaptability to
evolving cyber threats. The advantages of open-source software, including
transparency, flexibility, and cost reduction, are examined in the context of its use in
security audits. A case study was conducted to evaluate the performance of an opensource SIMS within a specific organizational environment. Findings indicate that
open-source solutions can provide adequate support for IT security audit processes,
ensuring compliance with security standards while facilitating risk identification and
mitigation. The study concludes that adopting an open-source SIMS can be an
effective and economical alternative for organizations looking to enhance their
information security management.
