Unisys Security Index

Unisys Security Index is a global measure of how secure citizens and consumers feel in a number of nations worldwide. It is conducted twice a year by commercial company Unisys Security and focuses on a number of key areas: national security (perceived levels of risk from terrorism, wars), financial security (risk from identity fraud, inability to make debt or mortgage repayments, financial insecurity), Internet security (perceived levels of risk from computer viruses, levels of confidence in online banking and shopping services) and personal security (levels of risk from crime, surveillance, access to personal information).

Countries surveyed are usually limited to under 10, including the UK, USA, Brazil, Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, Germany and Spain. The website provides information about the survey methdology and access to global and national statistical data and reports from 2007 onwards. These enable comparison of trends in confidence levels.
