The question, exactly as 2,719 people saw it
In the past year, have you seen sensitive information about your company or organisation (e.g. a photo of someone's badge showing their ID number, the office floor plan…) on LinkedIn or other social media?
I don't use LinkedIn or social media does not apply4% The full spread of answers, not just right and wrong. 3% chose "I am not sure". Being unsure of what you have seen is itself worth knowing: it usually means nobody has said what to look for. 4% answered "I don't use LinkedIn or social media", which the scan treats as genuinely not applying to them, so those answers stay out of this question's score. That is why 2,607 people sit behind the figures elsewhere on this page. Everyone answered in their own language; the English wording is shown here.
What a participant was told
The feedback shown after answering, verbatim:
Photos and posts can reveal more than intended: a badge, a screen or a floor plan in the background is useful information for an attacker. A quick check of what is visible before sharing keeps that information private.
The workgroup wrote these. Showing them beside the national result is how the questionnaire stays theirs.

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.
