The intent of the ISS is to provide simple answers to simple
questions that decision makers have about information protection.
The ISS was created and is operated by Management Analytics,
Rayzarb Associates, and Information Integrity for the benefit of the
global computing community.
The ISS is differentiated from other similar surveys in several ways:
1) The data and results from our monthly survey will be
published via the Web so that anyone can use the raw data to do
their own analysis and report their own results.
2) The data collection process is designed to assure anonymity
while allowing authenticity and verification of results.
3) Data can be provided by anyone at any level within an
organization, so that a LAN manager can report data just as well
as a vice president, with the results being meaningful in both
cases.
4) While most surveys collect a lot of data from each
participant once, the ISS collects small amounts of data from a
lot of sources many times. This allows people to participate in
smaller "chunks".
5) We have taken care in our surveys to assure that, by default,
answers are treated as having minimal validity. By selecting
the proper defaults, we hope to get respondents to think about
validity issues, or at a minimum, to treat casual answers as
just that.
