The question, exactly as 2,719 people saw it

When I have to share a file externally, I follow my organisation's approved method for sharing files securely.

I don't know of an approved method in my organisation
2%
The full spread of answers, not just right and wrong. 2% chose "I don't know of an approved method in my organisation". That is a group who would do this if they were shown how, which is a different problem from people who know how and skip it. Everyone answered in their own language; the English wording is shown here.

What a participant was told

The feedback shown after answering, verbatim:
Approved sharing methods protect the file on its way and control who can open it. Other routes may look convenient but can leak sensitive data.
The workgroup wrote these. Showing them beside the national result is how the questionnaire stays theirs.

Where it is weakest

Share whose own answer puts them at risk, by group. Only groups with enough people and enough organisations appear.

1 group held back: Just me. They are named rather than left out, so you can tell the difference between still gathering and never measured.

The two extra tick-boxes

The workgroup's own questionnaire puts these under this question. They are reported so you can see how files really travel, and they never affect the question's score.
