The digital environment is a place where procedures and processes are essential in the information security process. In this work, the sociocultural responsibility of the users in relation to the actions practiced within the virtual environment that may use high risk potential for use, integrity and availability of data will be addressed. For this, carry out a study with respect to the knowledge about the population about the importance of information security, as well as the knowledge of this group about sociocultural responsibility as an individual role in the use of digital media. Data collection was carried out through the application of semi-structured questionnaires, including questions aimed at knowledge and use of current information technologies. The selection of 112 respondents was carried out randomly, with no gender, age, education or social group standards. The answers were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively through graphics and discussions about the needs and potential of the researched group. It is used as a basis, as norms of the ISO 27000 family, and a plan for confidentiality, integrity and availability (CID) is created, according to the public agreement of interest. With this research, there is no strong lack of knowledge and digital maturity and this scenario causes great losses for the general population, as it results in insecurity of the virtual environment for sharing data and information. Digital education deals with an emerging theme. The need to include an educational media as a strategy for users regarding the way of thinking and acting in the virtual environment contributes to the quality and security of the information contained in the virtual environment.
