Abstract: Despite the adoption of information security poli-cies, many industries continue to suffer from the harm of non-compliance. Some of these harms include illegal disclosure of customers sensitive data, leakages of business trade secrets, and various kinds of cyber-attacks. The impact of such harm can be enormous.To avert this, monitoring the compliance of information security policies (otherwise known as use policies) have been adopted as a strategy towards enhancing security policy compliance. One of the main essence of use policy monitoring is to enhance security policy compliance so as to prevent harm. Ironically, the consequences of use policy monitoring can be detrimental. While proponents use utilitarianism ethics to argue that the monitoring of use policy is enhancing security policy compliance, the opponents of use policy skewed to deontological ethics to argue against the monitoring of security policy. Deon-tological ethics is of the view that monitoring of security policy intrudes on employees’ privacy and tend to hamper on their work performance. There have not been any clear solution to this discourse. A survey was conducted to understand the extend of security policy monitoring. Vulnerability principle was therefore explored as the panacea towards enhancing the monitoring of use policy to satisfy all the involve stakeholders.
