Understanding Data Security Risk 2025 Survey Report

The 2025 Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Understanding Data Security Risk Report examines how companies assess data risk across their assets, specifically how they identify, categorize, and evaluate risk, as well as the tools they use to monitor, assess, and mitigate it. The report highlights the key challenges organizations encounter when trying to gain a comprehensive view of their risk posture to mitigate their data risk. The report analyzes global trends in data security, govenance, and compliance strategies to combat emerging threats.

Read this report to find out, why:

• Many organizations lack the confidence to identify high-risk data sources.
• There is a divergence in risk prioritization between management and staff creating inefficiencies.
