Its aim was to support the Government by providing evidence that can inform policies which help to make Britain a safer place to do business online. The data has been collected annually since 2016 to understand the views of organisations on cyber security. Data are collected on topics including online use; attitudes of organisations to cyber security and awareness of Government initiatives; approaches to cyber security (including investment and processes); incidences and impact of a cyber security breach or attack; and how breaches are dealt with by the organisation. This information helps to inform Government policy towards organisations, including what measures and initiatives should be taken to ensure that key messages get across to businesses and charities so that they are cyber secure. The underlying data is useful for researchers to better understand the response across a range of organisations (rather than averages) and for wider comparability over time. The survey originally only covered businesses but was expanded to include charities from the 2018 survey onwards.Main Topics: Views, experiences and behaviours of organisations (UK businesses and charities) on cyber security and cyber security breaches.
