General survey
Sign in to Google to save your progress. Learn more
The survey intends to identify, in less than 10 minutes, the cyber threats you are exposed to and the status of your organisation concerning cybersecurity. Your contribution will help in bringing together the facts from small and medium-sized enterprises. We will use the information to inform about the state of cyber threats across industries and guide the development of lightweight answers for thorough protection.

We simplified the questionnaire as much as possible. Even if you are not a cybersecurity specialist, you can easily answer them. An optional, more technical part of the survey is also available for the person responsible for cybersecurity in your organisation. Fill it out to get ideas of what cybersecurity is about!

All data will be treated anonymously and analysed in a continuous report available on the project website. www.smesec.eu.

SMESEC is a European research project funded by the European Commission under the Grant Agreement 740787 and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) under contract number 17.00067. The project aims at supporting SMEs in the area of cybersecurity offering two different tools: on the one hand a cybersecurity framework offering state-of-the-art tools and on the other hand cybersecurity training and awareness courses.
