*** General Introduction ***

F4SLE provides organizations with a structured, E-ITS-based (https://eits.ria.ee/) method for self-assessing and continuously monitoring the repeatable and comparable performance of their information security management across the entire lifecycle.

Dataset contains  a file:

 F4SLE_EN_ver2024.xlsx English version
 

 
The file base on E-ITS 2024 version. 

Previous version of F4SLE is available: 
   DOI: 10.23673/re-372

Method how the F4SLE was designed is described in 
   DOI: 10.1007/978-3-031-05760-1_39
   DOI: 10.1145/3600160.3605045
Method for updating F€SLE to the new version:
   DOI:10.1016/j.csi.2023.103776

The F4SLE is designed to evaluate the security level of the organisations' or business processes based on the Estonian Information security standard. The evaluation process does not require presumptions or specific knowledge about the standard. It could require security and IT vocabulary. 


*** Usage ***

The CSV file is usable by the tools like described by Maria Pibilota Murumaa Master Thesis: Designing a security sensitive self-assessment framework, Supervised by Mari Seeba (University of Tartu) and Tarmo Oja (Cybernetica AS) https://hdl.handle.net/10062/105284

The F4SLE was used to gather data, and the profound calculations were done separately.
