How do you perceive your part in your organization's information security?

“I have an important role in the secure handling of information within my organization.” A statement from our Security Awareness Culture Scan that measures, analyzes and increases information security maturity within an organization. But to what extent do employees actually feel that they as individuals play a role in their organization’s information security? We dove into our statistics to find an answer.

How do employees view their own part in keeping their organization’s information safe?
We asked 42,000 employees from various organizations whether they themselves feel they have an important role in securely handling information within their organization. The statistics show that 4 out of 5 employees feel they indeed have an important role in information security. That’s a positive statistic. But when we dive deeper into those numbers, we see that there are big differences based on company type and size.
