"Good" Organizational Reasons for "Bad" Cybersecurity: Ethnographic Study of 30 Danish SMEs

The present report draws on material collected during a nine-month, multi-sited ethnographic study of 30 SMEs in Denmark. The focus is on the current condition of cybersecurity in
SMEs. These companies are seen as a potential target for cyberattacks because of their high
level of digitalization, yet they lack formal processes, auditing, and risk assessment.
