Information security objectives

Let´s evaluate it considering S.M.A.R.T. concepts:

• Specific (target a specific area for improvement): This aspect is covered by the text “Define and establish the general guidelines of information security in the company,…”
• Measurable (quantify or at least suggest an indicator of progress): it is not clear how it can be measured (e.g.: Define and establish how many guidelines?). Here you can use, for example, “Define and establish the general guidelines of information security in the company based on ISO 27001 standard,…”, because by using the standard as a reference you will be able to measure progress (e.g., how many items were covered?)
• Achievable (state what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources): This one cannot be properly evaluated without knowing your context (this is a subjective evaluation by your top management, normally considering the measurable objective and the proposed deadline).
• Relevant (how it impacts the business): It is not clear how this objective can benefit the organization (e.g., a decrease of quantity and/or impact of incidents, increase in productivity or competitiveness, etc.).
• Time-related (specify when the result(s) can be achieved: It is not clear when the objective must be achieved (e.g., by the end of the year, by the end of the semester, etc.)
