variable a la
que se le asigna un valor como resultado de una medición [ISO/IEC 15939:2007]
NOTA: El
término "medidas" se utiliza para hacer referencia conjuntamente a
medidas de base, medidas derivadas, e indicadores.
[UNE-ISO/IEC
27000:2014]
proceso para
determinar un valor
NOTA: En el
contexto de seguridad de la información, el proceso para determinar un valor
requiere información sobre la eficacia de un sistema de gestión de seguridad de
la información y sus correspondientes controles utilizando un método de
medición, una función de medición, un modelo analítico, y unos criterios de
decisión
[UNE-ISO/IEC
27000:2014]
algoritmo o cálculo realizado para combinar
dos o más medidas básicas
[ISO / IEC 15939:2007]

secuencia
lógica de operaciones, descritas genéricamente, utilizada en la cuantificación
de un atributo con respecto a una escala especificada [ISO / IEC 15939:2007]
NOTA: El tipo
de método de medición depende de la naturaleza de las operaciones utilizadas
para cuantificar un atributo. Se pueden distinguir dos tipos:
-
Subjetivo: la cuantificación se basa en el juicio humano;
-
Objetivo: la cuantificación se basa en reglas numéricas.

variable to which a value is
assigned as the result of measurement. [ISO-15939:2002]
process of obtaining
information about the effectiveness of ISMS, control objectives, and
controls using a measurement method, a
measurement function, an analytical model, and decision criteria.

variable to which a value is
assigned as the result of measurement [ISO/IEC 15939:2007]
NOTE. The term “measures” is
used to refer collectively to base measures, derived measures, and indicators.
[ISO/IEC 27000:2014]
process to determine a value
NOTE: In the context of
information security the process of determining a value requires information
about the effectiveness of an information security management system and its
associated controls using a measurement method, a measurement function, an analytical
model, and decision criteria
[ISO/IEC 27000:2014]
algorithm or calculation
performed to combine two or more base measures [ISO/IEC 15939:2007]
[ISO/IEC 27000:2014]
logical sequence of
operations, described generically, used in quantifying an attribute with
respect to a specified scale [ISO/IEC 15939:2007]
NOTE. The type of
measurement method depends on the nature of the operations used to quantify an
attribute. Two types can be distinguished:
-
subjective:
quantification involving human judgment;
-
objective:
quantification based on numerical rules.
[ISO/IEC 27000:2014]
one or more indicators and
their associated interpretations that address an information need [ISO/IEC 27000:2014]
ordered set of values,
continuous or discrete, or a set of categories to which the attribute is mapped. [ISO-15939:2002]
scalar quantity, defined and
adopted by convention, with which other quantities of the same kind are compared in order to express their
magnitudes.
