The information in the knowledge and information society is a strategic asset of enterprises in the XXI century and its inadequate treatment by individuals brings security breaches of the information generated serious implications for organizations usually expressed in economic losses, legal penalties and loss of reputation. Due to the above, understand the practical and structural challenges of custody of information as a strategic asset, from the perspective of generic competencies allow us to reconceptualize the progress and previous studies focused on digital competence and treatment of information, to establish a proposed generic competency in information security management. This study adopts an epistemological discourse based on systems thinking to understand how it develops and builds organizational culture of information security (COSI). 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.
