The study explored information security governance (ISG) effectiveness in accredited United States universities. In this study, the researcher examined the relationships between the levels of implementation of the five ISG sub-domain areas that are important for mature and active ISG; strategic alignment (SA), risk management (RK), resource management (RM), performance measurement (PM), and value delivery (VD) as identified by the Information Technology Governance Institute (ITGI). Research on ISG and information security RK indicates increasing Information Security (IS) threats and vulnerabilities to information assets. The current state of ISG in accredited U.S. universities was unknown, which leads to increased challenges around cyber-security threats to confidentiality, integrity, and the availability of privately held large amounts of data stored regarding students, faculty, and staff. There is a need to strengthen ISG to reduce persistent threats and vulnerabilities to information assets. The central research question that guided this research study was "What is the relationship, if any, between the level of implementation of the ISG sub-domain areas and ISG effectiveness?" The data was organized according to the ISG sub-domains and survey participants' responses and then used to explore and evaluate the relationships between the level of ISG sub-domains and ISG effectiveness (ISG EFFECT). The Internet-based questionnaire targeted a population of 140 top administrators and executives from accredited U.S. universities. Data was analyzed using linear regression to determine the degree of correlation between the independent variables of SA, RK, RM, PM, and VD, and EFFECT as the dependent variable. This study supports the understanding that information security governance effectiveness could be realized through full implementation of the corporate governance theoretical framework based on the stakeholders, Resource Based View (RBV) and agent theories. The findings of the research study indicated that SA has a positive relationship with ISG EFFECT, and the other sub-domains have slight significant relationships with ISG effect. From a practical standpoint, this study provides executives and IT practitioners with proven information on leadership approaches, organizational structures and processes to safeguard students, staff and faculty information assets from threats and vulnerabilities. Therefore, board of directors and executive management need to be involved at the strategic level to establish strong ISG correctly aligned with business and information security to ensure that security delivers business value through full implementation of all ISG sub-domains of strategic alignment, risk management, resource management, and performance management and value delivery.
