ABSTRACT:

System security is a key contributor to effective use of IT innovations such as results management information systems (RMIS) in universities in Uganda. However, the optimal use is realized once appropriate and modern security technologies are implemented and RMIS users fully adopted to them. Most universities in Uganda have invested in security but operational inefficiency remains a daunting trait. With a sample of 300 respondents drawn from the academic management sector, of 10 selected chartered universities in Uganda, results indicate that indeed security is a key factor. Particularly when role definition, policy framing and events monitoring are considered students’ results cease to be mismanaged. The study thus recommends that for optimal security realization, rotational and regular audit trails of RMIS users should suffice to counteract the highly skilled user manipulations which may be a threat to the RMIS in Universities in Uganda.
