Whilst the control-oriented organizational culture traits, effectiveness and consistency, have strong effect on the ISM principles of confidentiality, integrity, availability and accountability, the flexibility-oriented organizational culture traits, cooperativeness and innovativeness, are not significantly associated with the information security management (ISM) principles with one exception that cooperativeness is negatively related to confidentiality.
