It explores the links over time between these policies and processes and the likelihood and impact of a cyber incident. The survey is commissioned by The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology and aims to support the Government by providing evidence that can inform policies which help to make Britain a safer place to do business online. This is the fourth research year (or wave) of a multi-year study. The fourth wave of fieldwork was carried out during 2024, with the report published on 6 February 2025. The core objectives of the study are to: <ul> <li>explore how and why UK organisations are changing their cyber security profile and how they implement, measure, and improve their cyber defences.</li><li>provide a more in-depth picture of larger organisations, covering topics that are lightly covered in the main Cyber Security Breaches Survey (also available from the UK Data Archive), such as corporate governance, supply chain risk management, internal and external reporting, cyber strategy, and cyber insurance.</li><li>explore the effects of actions adopted by organisations to improve their cyber security on the likelihood and impact of a cyber incident.</li></ul> Further information and additional publications can be found on the GOV.UK <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/cyber-security-longitudinal-survey" target="_blank"> Cyber Security Longitudinal Survey</a> pages.
