Computer crime is a matter of increasing concern, and worldwide action is required if the proper responses to it are to be found. One of the tools that can be deployed here is the Global cybersecurity index (GCI), a control and feedback mechanism based on a composite indicator. The GCI is based on a hierarchy of sub-indicators. The indicators used for the final aggregation of the CGI are called pillars. Five pillars are applied to rank the eleven countries that are top of the rankings in a worldwide study. In this paper, our ranking is based on these pillars, and their role is investigated using partial order methodology. It turns out that the pillars “Technical (aspects)”, “Capacity building”, and “Cooperation” are of particular importance. In conclusion, a strategy is suggested for an “individualized ranking” that may be helpful for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or other institutions. Here, we apply the procedure for the project “Awareness Laboratory SME (ALARM) information security” and put our ideas up for discussion. In particular, the mathematical method will be transferred to SMEs as a means to support the effectiveness of awareness-raising measures and to improve the security behaviour of company employees.

计算机犯罪是一个日益受到关注的问题，如果要找到适当的应对措施，就需要在全球范围内采取行动。可以在此处部署的工具之一是全球网络安全指数 (GCI)，这是一种基于综合指标的控制和反馈机制。GCI 基于子指标的层次结构。用于最终汇总 C​​GI 的指标称为支柱。应用五个支柱对在全球研究中名列前茅的十一个国家进行排名。在本文中，我们的排名基于这些支柱，并使用偏序方法研究了它们的作用。事实证明，支柱“技术（方面）”、“能力建设”和“合作”尤为重要。综上所述，建议采用“个性化排名”策略，这可能对中小型企业 (SME) 或其他机构有所帮助。在这里，我们应用“意识实验室中小企业（ALARM）信息安全”项目的程序，并提出我们的想法进行讨论。特别是，数学方法将转移到中小企业，作为支持提高认识措施的有效性和改善公司员工安全行为的手段。
