Recent advancements in technology have revolutionized traditional administrative processes, allow-ing for faster and more eficient service delivery. In light of the rapid pace of development and the ease with which information can be transmitted, information security has become a crucial concern for nearly every organization. As a result, organizations are compelled to adapt to these trends and explore ways to manage information security effectively. Key mechanisms that are essential in this regard include policies, procedures, and standards, which enable organizations to create a secure en-vironment for their operations and protect their assets, particularly their valuable information. This paper seeks to examine the various aspects of information security in public sector institutions in Albania, including the challenges and opportunities they face in preventing and addressing security breaches. Additionally, this paper explores how these organizations can comply with existing stan-dards, implement best practices, and draft policies to enhance their information security posture. Of particular interest is the perspective of IT employees on security issues and the extent to which these mechanisms are implemented within their respective organizations.Keywords:
