ABSTRACT: Digital in the daily life of companies undeniably
leads them to use services and applications of all kinds. Companies in their
permanent quest for the exchange of information devote themselves to the use of
the Internet which nowadays constitutes an open door for the birth of several
types of faults, some of which are unknown to certain digital professionals in
the field. Corporate. The purpose of this research is to show the probable
existence of digital security flaws in the daily activities carried out by
companies in Burkina Faso. In companies in Burkina Faso, we seem to see a way
of working that does not respect the standards and safety standards prescribed
by ISO 27001. We seem to see a way of working based on the result of the gain
and not on the securities measures and integrity of critical data, data
confidentiality, management and prevention of possible security risks related
to their activities. We seem to be witnessing in companies the immanent
presence of faults which could be the work of the users of the system, of the
infrastructure used which is outdated or badly configured, of software
anomalies linked to programming errors, and to poor implementation of the
security policy within the companies. This research is important because it
exposes the handicaps that companies have in terms of digital security. The
expected result is to bring out existing flaws that are not taken seriously by
IT staff and propose possible solutions to overcome these security risks.
