Abstract

This research paper explores the integration of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), the ISO 27001 standard, and mobile forensics methodologies as a comprehensive framework for enhancing digital security measures within modern business ecosystems. Employing a quantitative research design, this paper utilized a survey methodology, gathering data from 372 professionals across various sectors including risk management, IT/security, and forensic analysis. The analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the research hypotheses and assess the impact of the integrated approach on organizational digital security capabilities. The findings reveal a significant positive effect of integrating ERM, ISO 27001, and mobile forensics on an organization’s ability to manage digital risks effectively. Specifically, the integrated approach was found to enhance strategic digital security management, improve the identification, assessment, and mitigation of digital risks, strengthen information security management practices, and elevate the effectiveness and efficiency of digital crime investigation processes. These outcomes underscore the value of a cohesive strategy that leverages the strengths of ERM, ISO 27001, and mobile forensics in addressing the complex and interconnected digital threat landscape. Based on the results, the study recommends adopting a holistic security framework, investing in continuous professional development, leveraging technological advancements for proactive security management, and fostering a culture of security and collaboration. Such measures are crucial for organizations aiming to enhance their resilience against cyber threats and protect their digital assets in the face of sophisticated cyber-attacks. This research contributes to the field of cybersecurity by providing empirical evidence on the benefits of an integrated approach to digital security, offering practical guidelines for organizations seeking to improve their digital security measures, and highlighting the need for continuous adaptation and collaboration in the fight against cyber threats.
