The goal of the 2006 Global Security Survey is to help respondents assess the state of information security within their organization relative to other comparable financial institutions around the world. Overall, the survey attempts to answer the question: How does the information security of my organization compare to that of my counterparts? By comparing the 2006 data with that collected for the 2003, 2004 and 2005 surveys, DTT’s GFSI group can begin to determine differences and similarities, identify trends and gain an ability to ponder more in depth questions, such as: How is the state of information security changing within my organization? and Are these changes aligned with those of the rest of the industry?
Where possible, questions that were asked as part of the 2003, 2004 and 2005 Global Security Surveys have remained constant, thereby allowing for the collection and analysis of trend data. In order that questions remain relevant and timely with regard to environmental conditions, certain areas were re-examined and expanded to incorporate the “hot” issues being addressed by financial institutions at a global level. Deloitte member firm subject matter specialists were enlisted and their knowledge leveraged to identify questions with the most impact.
