چکیده
This paper proposes a research method that investigates the risk perceptions of computer endusers relating to organisational Information Security (InfoSec) and the situational factors that influence these perceptions. This method uses the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) within recorded semi-structured interviews to elicit computer end-user perceptions, thoughts, beliefs and views pertaining to information security risks and threats. The suitability and appropriateness of using the RGT for this task is also discussed.
