A Unique Approach

Numerous "surveys" already exist but they invariably attempt to benchmark control effectiveness which, due to the methodologies employed, are not overly insightful.

Instead, this in-person research investigated how UK Universities are structuring, funding and resourcing their cyber security functions. Are UK Universities setting themselves up for success or failing to keep pace with the building cyber threat?

Diverse
Participants

22 Universities across the breadth of the UK were involved as part of the research, including 7 Russell Group Universities.

Context Specific Insights

Universities of different sizes and types operate differently. Universities were segmented based on location and student number to ensure insights are highly relevant depending on the size and type of University. 

Cross Variable Analysis

Different findings were evaluated against one another to gain an even greater understanding of the insights gleamed. For example, does having a smaller cyber team mean you're more likely to suffer a major data breach?
