- Organisations continue to suffer information security incidents and breaches due to human errors. The objectives of our research are to define a human error related information security incident and create the novel HEART of Information Security (HEART-IS) technique. We conducted a case study within a private sector organisation for twelve months of reported information security incidents. The new technique was feasible in analysing human error related incidents in the information security area, was easily understood and adopted within the participating organisation and provided good quality information giving insights into the causes of those incidents that was not previously known.
