Deloitte is pleased to announce the kick-off of its first Global Security Survey for the Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) industry. We recognize that information security is necessary to enable full effectiveness of a business strategy and dynamic management system.

Benchmarking looks at the performance of defined activities, and assesses the competitive strengths and weaknesses of a company’s strategic position, as well as its operational effectiveness compared with competitors' operations, structures, and processes.

Our approach involves working with you to fill in the benchmarking questionnaire, which is based on seven segments of information security: Governance; investment in security; value; risk; responsiveness; use of security technologies; and, quality of operations. Furthermore, specific questions are included that relate to the primary Technology, Media and Telecommunications industry.

We will use our value based benchmarking tool, DeloitteDex, to collect and analyze the data and create a comprehensive report, which will include recommendations supported by factual market analysis.
