Abstract
This thesis examines approaches for evaluating and monitoring Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) in the context of public IT service providers. The objective is to develop a conceptual evaluation approach for DVZ M-V that identifies weaknesses and improvement potentials while supporting management-oriented reporting. The study is based on a case study, a systematic literature review, the design of an adapted approach, and the prototypical development of a supporting tool. The approach is evaluated through expert interviews and an exemplary application. The results indicate that a structured, context-specific approach enhances transparency, comparability, and continuous improvement of an ISMS.
