Singapore residents are the world’s most trusting of their government organisations. Half of those surveyed by digital security firm Imperva said they completely trust government organisations to keep their sensitive information absolutely private. This is much higher than the global average of 29%.

Retailers and online gaming are perceived to be the least trustworthy in keeping private information safe. Only 4% of the Singapore respondents from Imperva’s No Silver Linings report trust these two groups, similar to global figures.

With 49% of Singapore respondents saying that they would stop using a company’s services following a serious data breach, organisations must rethink their approach to data security.
