Cyber security longitudinal survey
An ongoing study looking at the cyber security behaviours of organisations.
The Cyber Security Longitudinal Survey (CSLS) helps us better understand cyber security policies and processes within medium and large businesses and high-income charities. It explores the links over time between these policies and processes and the likelihood and impact of a cyber incident.
The first wave of fieldwork was carried out between March and August 2021, with the report published on 27 January 2022.
The second wave of fieldwork was carried out during 2022, with the report published on 9 December 2022.
The third wave of fieldwork was carried out during 2023, with the report published on 20 March 2024.
This research is part of the government’s £2.6 billion National Cyber Strategy 2022 to protect and promote the UK in cyber space. It also informs the government’s work to improve the cyber resilience of organisations across the UK economy.
