Return on information security investment

 * — (View AfD)

Yet another nn tech neologism. I count 251 non-wiki ghits. Contested prod. MER-C 03:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete return on xxx investment is just a corporatespeak form of "return on investment". Akihabara 03:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete any useful information in there could be merged into Information security --Crocodile Punter 04:22, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Defines ROISI as a methodology, but it seems to me from Rate of return that it must be a ratio. Concepts described are security concepts that can be included in ROI without the need for a new set of acronyms. Phaedrus86 06:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, simple proposed methodology for calculating intangibles of security and risk management into an ROI/benefit assessment. I don't see anything notable about it other than the author's heavy promotion of it as a unique concept; most of the 37 unique ghits are from promotional sites or directory listings.

 * Delete simply a proposed methodology, not suitable for an encyclopedia.-- danntm T C 20:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - it's not really a neologism per se (I'm familiar with the concept) but is not encyclopaedic. Low google hits would simply point to it being a trade-specific term rather than one in general use. It belongs in a trade or university textbook, or maybe on Wiktionary once independent verifiable sources emerge. Agree with Crocodile Punter and Phaedrus86's recommendations.

 * This is an emerging subject that bridges the well known area of ROI - from economics; and information security - from computer science. Hence the terms ROSI and ROISI which attempt to define methodologies that are tailored to the Information Security domain.  Given that Information security deals with intangibles such methodologies are useful for the information security practitioner. I am the author of the papers cited in this article.
