Benchmarking information security in financial institutions

Protecting what matters: the sixth annual Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) Global Financial Services Industry (GFSI) Practice information security survey.

Thursday, February 26, 2009

The goal of the 6th Annual Global Security Survey for financial institutions is to help respondents assess and understand the state of information security within their organization relative to comparable financial institutions around the world.

Overall, the survey attempts to answer the question: How does the information security of my organization compare to that of my counterparts? By comparing the 2008 data with that collected from the previous year’s surveys, DTT GFSI Practice can determine differences and similarities, identify trends and ponder in-depth questions, such as: How is the state of information security changing within an organization? And are these changes aligned with those of the rest of the industry?
