Evidence suggests that, regardless of the number of technical controls in place, organizations will still experience security breaches. Organizations spend millions of dollars on their cyber security infrastructure that includes technical and non-technical measures but mostly disregarded the most important asset and vulnerability the human. Therefore, despite their investments, companies are not able to reap the exact benefits from their security investments because of the human/employee's non-compliance with cyber security policies and measures. Cyber Security compliance is the most effective way to prevent cyber security issues and improve cyber resiliency. To effectively comply with cyber security practices and human acceptance of cyber security technologies, it is important to identify, study and analyze the factors that contribute to their compliance and implementation. This study combines and integrates contemporary literature on the factors of UTAUT2 model related to cyber security compliance. The rationale of this study is to fill the gap of assessing the effect of factors of UTAUT2 model on cyber security compliance. Based on this study, it can be tentatively concluded that the factors influencing technology adoption also affect users' behavior towards cyber security compliance as well as the actual cyber security compliance. This study provides a basic level idea to organizations to formulate a fully functional and useful security compliance framework for their organizations based on factors that influence their employees' intentions and behavior towards cyber security. Consequently, the study is an exciting endeavor to prevent significant security weaknesses and reduce the security breaches in the information systems by explaining different factors that strengthen the users' behavior and intentions to comply with the security. This is an ongoing study, and more information will emerge as it progresses. This is also an ongoing investigation, and further results and findings will be published as the investigation progresses.
