Abstract
Of particular importance for an organization in building an effective and comprehensive secure system is to addressing a mechanism to provide a standard framework that is free from vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity experts and security requirement engineers have been addressing security issues that originated from cybersecurity requirements. Many security issues can be avoided if the security requirements are configured appropriately. In this paper, we proposed a hierarchy security requirements model based on the Goal Question Metrics (GQM) and its application mapped with the security standards towards constructing vulnerability measurements at the early stage of security development of the system design.
