'''The Open Group Architecture Framework''' ('''O-ISM3''') is an Information Security Management Framework that provides an approach for designing, planning, implementing, and governing information security management systems.

The original motivation behind O-ISM3 development was to narrow the gap between theory and practice for information security management systems, and the trigger was the idea of linking security management and maturity models. O-ISM3 strove to keep clear of the pitfalls pointed out in the article [http://jultika.oulu.fi/files/isbn9514267907.pdf Designing Secure Information Systems and software: Critical Evaluation of the Existing Approaches and a New Paradigm http://jultika.oulu.fi/files/isbn9514267907.pdf] by Mikko Siponen. The project looked at [[Capability Maturity Model Integration]], [[ISO 9000]], [[COBIT]], [[ITIL]], [[ISO/IEC 27001:2013]], and other standards, and found some potential for improvement in several fields, such as linking security to business needs, using a process based approach, providing some additional details (who, what, why) for implementation and suggesting specific metrics, while preserving compatibility with current IT and security management standards.

[[The Open Group]] provides O-ISM3 free of charge to organisations for their own internal noncommercial purposes.
