The purpose of this review paper was to analyse literature related to cyber-security governance
frameworks effects in Zimbabwe local authorities. Cyber-security governance is a developing
subject with an expanding literature. It is founded in information technology governance but is
also increasing its recognition in business management. However, there is dearth of literature
on the effectiveness of cyber-security governance framework in Zimbabwe local authorities.
The authors reviewed journal papers, conference papers, theses and books from various
databases namely Google Scholar and ProQuest. The study showed that cyber-security
governance enables the formulation of a cyber-security governance framework which has a
great impact on the performance of local authorities in Zimbabwe. In addition, a cyber-security
governance framework improves organisation’s decision making, risk governance and
compliance. Conversely, a cyber-security governance framework is inflexible and overly
systematic. The paper also contributed to the body of knowledge in the fields of cyber-security
governance as well as other related studies thereby supporting literature brought forward by
other researchers
