With the argument that society needs to have certain products and / or services, the constituted powers create public bodies that are properly structured to act in a certain line of activity, such as education, security, health, social welfare, etc. In this way, they provide products and / or services directly to the population, who pay for them by collecting taxes. With the emergence of mixed economy companies providing computer services it is no different from other public bodies, as they are entities created out of the interests of the members of a Government and aim, in principle, at the conception of a business model that encourages the scientific and technological development within the scope of Public Administration. Due to their legal nature, they must necessarily seek organizational performance, translated into rates of return on investments made. To do this, they must sell products and / or services directly to public bodies and entities, which can use them in their strate...

The purpose of the information security policy is to establish an organization-wide approach to prescribe mechanisms that help identify and prevent the compromise of information security and the misuse of organization's data, applications, networks, and computer systems to define mechanisms that protect the organization from its legal and ethical responsibilities with regard to its networks' and computer systems' connectivity to worldwide networks. Most of the organizations worldwide already have formulated their information security policies. Having a security policy document in itself is not enough, the document must be complete. This paper examines security policies of 20 different academic organizations with standard security policy framework and attempts to answer questions such as: are these security policy documents complete? Are they fully up to date? Does the precept match the practice? These are kind of questions that are addressed in this study.
The data security policy should define how the user data security scheme and the technical support personnel will be. It should define the hierarchical levels of access to data and how to carefully control the distribution scheme of the peri-dynamic exchange of access passwords. Another definition that should be clear in data security policy should be the internal and external communication scheme of the company. Communications should be well monitored; one must be assured that data is flowing with integrity and security schemes are not being violated. There must be a protection against "electronic burns" carried out by hackers and crackers. These incidents can be done remotely and hardly leave a trace. Another factor that can influence data security is the physical environment where the equipment will be installed. Care must be taken to comply with the technical specifications of the equipment suppliers. It is not acceptable to make a high investment in technology and, at the time of its use, unpleasant surprises occur due to problems with its physical installation.

The security of information and the risks associated with its use, a model for its implementation
To assess whether the management of information security and the risks associated with its use, through computer networks, at the Peninsula State University of Santa Elena, is effective, it is proposed to implement a model that establishes the goals to achieve to advance through the different levels that make up the rating scale. To evaluate the management of information security and the risks associated with its use, it is necessary to have a maturity model that not only allows evaluating the processes involved in the management of information security, but also those associated with the management of the risks linked to the processing of information in all its phases, since an adequate information security plan depends on it. Based on the aforementioned, the objective of this paper is to propose a model for the management of information security and the risks associated with its use, in computer networks.

The rapid development of information technology and the problem of its rapid implementation in all spheres of public life, the growing importance of information in management decisions to be made by public authorities, a new format of media — these and other factors urge the problem of developing and implementing quality state information security policy. The aim of the article was to conduct a comparative analysis of the latest practices of improving public information security policies in the European Union, as well as European countries such as Poland, Germany, Great Britain, and Ukraine. The formal-logic, system-structural and problem-theoretical methods were the leading methodological tools. The analysis of regulatory legal acts showed that there is a single concept of international information security at the global and regional levels, which requires additional legal instruments for its implementation. It is stated that the reform of national information security policies has...
