Abstract: To ensure the achievement of quality security to safeguard business objectives, implementing, and maintaining an effective Cyber Security Strategy (CSS) is crucial. Inevitably, we need to recognize and evaluate the essential factors, such as technological, cultural, regulatory, economic, and others, that may hinder the efficacy of a CSS development and implementation. From the literature review, it is evident that such factors are either abstractly stated, or only assessed from singular viewpoint and are scattered across the literature. Moreover, there is a lack of holistic studies that could assist us in comprehending the critical factors affecting a CSS. In this paper, we present a systematic classification of distinct, structured, and comprehensive list of key factors covering multiple aspects of an organization’s CSS, including organizational, cultural, economic, legal and political, and security, to provide a more complete view of understanding the essentials and analyzing the aptitude of a planned or given CSS. The proposed classification is further evaluated to examine the critical factors verified by conducting semi-structured interviews from security experts in different public sector organizations. Furthermore, we present a comparison of our work with the recent attempts that reflects that a significant accumulation of essential factors have been holistically identified in this study.
