Abstract
Smart cities rely heavily on technology and data to improve citizens' quality of life. However, this
reliance on technology also creates significant security challenges such as cyber security threats, data
privacy, interoperability and lack of necessary standards. In order to deal with these challenges and also
to reduce conflicts between security and Internet of Things services in the smart city, it is necessary to
consider initiatives. Data security governance is a process of ensuring data security while maintaining the
efficiency and performance of the data in the areas of use. In order to use the data security governance of
the Internet of Things in Houshmand city, it is necessary to identify its application areas. These areas can
be calculated by considering the structure of the smart city, the Internet of Things, the structure and topic
of data, as well as the beneficiaries of the data in the smart city. In this article, by studying different
sources and using elite capacity, 4 main areas and 17 applied sub-areas of Internet of Things security
governance in Houshmand city have been identified. Also, after identifying the areas, the effective factors
on data security governance of Internet of Things in Houshmand city have been calculated.
