Abstract
Information security is imperative for state colleges and universities (SUCs) to have a sound information security in protecting their information assets, enhancing institutional reputation and ensuring compliance with the law. This paper presents the level of implementation of information security in the state colleges and universities (SUCs) in the Philippines. Data used was based on questionnaire adapted from the Information Security Governance (ISG) Assessment Tool for Higher Education(EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Security Task 2004) and was distributed to a total of 30 individuals who are responsible in managing and keeping the information assets of the SUCS. Findings revealed that information security is not yet fully implemented among the SUCS, this is a clear indication of failure or disaster, and these institutions are vulnerable to information security threats. SUCs are encouraged to implement comprehensive information security program at a strategic level involving the board of regents and top executives for safety and security.
