Supplementary notes

The source does not provide any information regarding percentage points exceeding 100 percent. According to the source: "Responses include top unprompted responses (5% or more) among those who to at least one external body other than their cyber security provider or parent company.
We carried out 35 in-depth interviews between December 2021 and January 2022, to gain further qualitative insights from some of the organizations that answered the survey. Sole traders and public-sector organizations were outside the scope of the survey. In addition, businesses with no IT capacity or online presence were deemed ineligible. These exclusions are consistent with previous years, and the survey is considered comparable across years."
