OT: Research Survey Request for Volunteers

[CraginS]

Capitol College has approved my proposal for research for a doctoral dissertation in information assurance. If you work for or with the U.S. government I invite you to take part in a short anonymous survey about cyber security and information assurance on the job. The survey is open to all adult (over 18) U.S. government civilian employees, members of the uniformed services, and government contractors, in all job categories, not just information assurance or cyber security. The survey is for a study of reasons people do not always follow cyber security guidelines. The study will help my work for an information assurance degree at Capitol College in Laurel, Maryland.

Participation is completely anonymous. You will not be asked to identify yourself, where you work, or who you work for. No records will be kept that could be used to identify who completed the survey. I will not know who takes the survey, or whether any member of any invited group does so. There will be no negative consequences for not taking the survey. More details are on the survey site, including a view of all the questions before you decide to take part. Please go to

It is important that workers from many job categories take part in this survey. Please share this survey invitation as broadly as possible with colleagues who may be eligible to take part.

To verify that the study is an approved research activity of Capitol College, you may contact the Office of the Dean, School of Business and Information Sciences, Administrative Assistant Ms. Joy Exner, jexner@capitol-college.edu, (301) 369-2800 x2485. If you have any questions or comments about the survey or research, please contact me at

Thank you,
