The corporate culture of an organization is the set of values, beliefs, norms, and behaviors that shape how the organization operates and interacts with its stakeholders. The corporate culture can have a significant impact on an organization’s information security governance mode, which is the way the organization establishes, implements, monitors, and evaluates its information security policies, standards, and objectives. A strong information security governance mode requires a supportive corporate culture that fosters a shared vision, commitment, and accountability for information security among all levels of the organization. A supportive corporate culture can also help to overcome resistance to change, promote collaboration and communication, encourage innovation and learning, and enhance trust and confidence in information security12. References =
