Abstract
This thesis focuses on the relationship between the effectiveness of information security management and the composition of the board. We build our hypotheses based on the stewardship theory. Using the data from Corporate Governance DB of Taiwan Economic Journal and the manually-searched information security breaches from Information Security and UDN website, we investigate that whether the composition of the board could affect the occurrence of information security breaches. Our results demonstrate that as the percentage of independent director increases, the effectiveness of information security management decreases. Furthermore，we also investigate the association between the effectiveness of information security management and the composition of the board after classifying by ownership structure- family firm or non-family firm. Our results demonstrate that for family firm, as the percentage of insider director increases, the size of company decreases, and the percentage of independent director has a negative impact on the effectiveness of information security management increase. For non-family firm, chairman and chief executive officer taken by different people has a good impact on the effectiveness of information security management.
