With these fundamentals, a proposed generic competency in information security management detailing the key behaviors expected of individuals, as well as some indicators base of each one of them to establish their level domain, surrounded by a socioformative approach is outlined that understands training as a systemic process of co-responsibility between the person and their environment.
