Steve Holford, marketing director at the online services supplier, commented: "Too many workers are taking risks with work-related data and documents."
It is significant, he explained, that most of those surveyed are "expected to determine their own method for transferring data off-site" as well as storing it.
"Particularly at home or when travelling, this can often lead to complacency and so a real risk to the business," Mr Holford said.
According to research by Fasthosts Internet, an alarming number of UK office workers admit to putting work-related data at risk whilst working off-site.
Some 37 per cent of Brits have taken risks with work-related data or documents, the web hosting provider said.
