Abstract	This paper has critically assessed a Higher Education Institution's (HEI) Examination Paper Preparation Process (EPPP) to identify threats and vulnerabilities that could place the security of the process at a risk; thus, compromising the security of the examination papers. Surveys were utilized to identify examiners' behaviour which could pose a risk to the security of the examination papers. The paper further highlights the vital role the human factor plays in ensuring that the EPPP is secure. The paper proposes an Information Security Assurance Model (ISAM) that is based on information security principles and best practices to manage and improve the security of the EPPP. The model provides a step-by-step guide which could be followed to ensure that relevant information security aspects are covered to ensure that examination papers are handled more securely. The aim of the model is to ensure that examination papers are not accessible to unauthorized individuals; which, may lead to some students being conferred with qualifications that they do not deserve.
