How Comprehensive is Your Cyber Security Assurance?

Researchers from the University of Queensland, Australia, the University of Split, Croatia, and the Slovenian Institute of Internal Auditors designed a survey measuring:

1. How comprehensive your assurance of cyber security risk is?
2. And which industry, organisations and individual factors positively affect it?

The survey is designed to be completed by IT Auditors from organisations in various sectors. If your organisation does not employ IT Auditors, then the Chief Audit Executive is the right person to complete this 20-minute survey. You are eligible even if you outsource or co-source cyber security audits. The survey is anonymous. The national Institutes of Internal Auditors and ISACA in 20 countries from Europe, Australia, USA, Israel and New Zealand have agreed to participate in this study by promoting it among their members.

What is your take-away? By completing the survey, you will get your score on how comprehensive cyber security assurance is in your organisation. Once the survey is completed by all participants, you will be sent a Report that will allow you to compare your score with scores of cyber security assurance of various countries and sectors. Moreover, it will include the analysis of factors that positively affect cyber security assurance.
