This paper outlines an alternative view on the information security discipline. We argue that information security is, in general, viewed from a technological and means-end oriented perspective. Our approach can be seen as an initial attempt to approach information security in a broader, more holistic, sense. For this purpose, we approach information security from a health professional’s perspective. An instrument, The Information Security Employee’s Evaluation (ISEE), is presented to evaluate and discuss information security with health professionals. The ISEE instrument consists of seven dimensions: priority, responsibility, incident handling, functionality, communication, supervision and training and education. The ISEE instrument can be used to better understand health professional’s perception, needs and problems when dealing with information security in practice. Following the design science approach, the ISEE instrument was validated within a focus group of security experts and pilot tested as workshops across five hospital departments in two medical centers. Although the ISEE instrument has by no means the comprehensiveness of existing security standards, we do argue that the instrument can provide valuable insights for both practitioners and research communities.
