Ernst & Young’s 2010 Global Information Security Survey was developed with the help of our assurance and advisory clients.

This year’s survey was conducted between June 2010 and August 2010. Nearly 1,600 organizations across all major industries and in 56 countries participated.

Methodology

The questionnaire was distributed to designated Ernst & Young professionals in each country practice, along with instructions for consistent administration of the survey process.

The majority of the survey responses were collected during face-to-face interviews with individuals responsible for information security at the participating organizations. When this was not possible, the questionnaire was administered electronically via the internet.
