“national security scheme” as a framework for information security in spanish universities

Abstract

The National Security Scheme (ENS) constitutes the obligatory regulatory framework to which the Spanish Public Administrations must adapt their policies and actions so that the security of the information processed is adequately guaranteed. The article reviews at a very high level the basic principles of the ENS, how it proposes to deal with the improvement process in information security management and, finally, we will see some specific aspects of its application to information security in the university environment.
