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the immanent presence of faults which could be the work of the users of the system, of the infrastructure used which is outdated or badly configured, of software anomalies linked to programming errors, and to poor implementation of the security policy within the companies.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.
