Abstract: Information security management system (ISMS) has been used throughout most of the industry. It was made for the purpose of improvement of security and reliability. In addition, ISMS reconsiders awareness of information security in the organisation. A factor of Reliability inhibition in information security is a human error. Human error decreases assessment reliability of checklist-based assessment. This study suggests consistency test used in Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI) and newly improved re-survey process. Consistency test detects a false response of respondents. The improved process includes the assessment method to give a penalty to the existing method. Advanced assessment model is applied to a checklist of energy industry to verify the effectiveness. Through the proposed method for human error and to increase the effectiveness of the evaluation.
