    Lads and Ladies of Boards

    I'm part of a group of final year students in Trinity College completing an Honours Degree in Business and Information technology. As part of this we have chosen for our thesis the subject of Information Breaches and the security risks posted specifically around mobile devices like laptops, Mobile phones and portable storage devices.

    We are looking for people to assist in our research project by simply completing the survey on the link below, it should only take 5 to 10 minutes of your time.

    We do not know of any risks to you if you decide to participate in this survey and we guarantee that your responses will not identify you personally (we do not record participants IP addresses nor ask for names and email addresses etc). We promise not to share any personally identifiable information with anyone outside my research group unless specifically forced by law.

    I know there are some spelling errors on the survey, unfortunately the where noticed too late to change them.
