Information security has always been an important requirement for the business. Such assets can be broken down into three main areas, namely people, process and technologies. The Internet, the proliferation of the web, networks and the ever-growing presence of innovation have triggered profound changes to procedures that are integral in individual and institutional routines. Such technological changes have led to an increase of competitiveness which decentralization and have contributed to the need for leadership, command, security, information and knowledge safety. The article presents the findings of an information security investigation, which examines the involvement with human aspects in the field of information security and knowledge management. The implication is that the "people" component is an important variable, even crucial, for the management of information security in organizations. It can be concluded that the human element is an important, perhaps crucial, parameter for the management of corporate information security.
