About
Developing a targeted cybersecurity culture & awareness assessment tool.
CADA is a new Innosuisse-funded initiative rooted in interdisciplinary research. By analyzing the cultural and habit-anchoring factors within companies, we ensure that awareness-promoting measures are effective and make a meaningful contribution to organizational security.
Approach
1
Assess existing work
Structured review of academic papers, established theories, and prior frameworks on security culture and organizational resilience.
2
Merge to clusters
Synthesis of collected inputs into thematic clusters that capture key influences and recurring patterns across sources.
3
Contextualise
Refining cluster structure, defining intended purposes, and embedding them within practical organizational contexts.
