Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to information security, and more particularly to implementation and management of information security of a Big Data environment of an organization. In one embodiment, security related inputs are received from a user and are converted into security requirement. Thereafter, a security policy template is identified from plurality of pre-defined security policy templates based on security reference architecture and the security requirement. The security policy template represents a plurality of security controls. Thereafter, one or more security controls are selected from the security controls based on the security requirement. Further, one or more existing security controls implemented in Big Data environment are identified. Thereafter, the selected security controls are compared with the existing security controls for determining a security control that is not implemented in the Big Data environment. Subsequently, the security control is implemented in the Big Data environment to provide security to the Big Data of the organization.
