I'm amazed the security guard even noticed the hard disk activity. Are you sure 
he wasn't responsible ? :)

It also doesn't protect the cloning of hard drives, which, funnily enough, 
happened to one of my clients on Monday.

Security guard saw some disk activity going on, hit the keyboard and voila, 
Ghost was in action.....CFO's pc, the bugger had installed an extra hdd.

Policies to prevent the unauthorized use of usb ports.  There's good software 
that will do this, and will apply even on machines (laptops) that are off the 
network.

Would that stop them dragging & dropping onto a usb stick?

Microsoft's Rights Management can do much of what you seek. Although it isn't 
perfect and can be beat it should get you to be able to say you tried really 
hard to the lawyers.

I seem to think InfoPath or Groove or some other MS tool can do this kind of 
job - you can select an e-mail and effectively make it "unforwardable", it was 
pretty slick...now if I could only remember what product it was...

Hi chaps,



We've had a case this week of a client who found out a user, who is in the 
process of being let go, had emailed out to their personal gmail account a copy 
of all the internal documents, logos, process diagrams, etc. The user is now 
undergoing disciplinary action and facing possible legal action.



However, while it's almost impossible to prevent a user from emailing a 
document out if they really want to, companies are obliged to have a policy in 
place requiring them not to doing so, and here in the UK that policy has to be 
seen to be implemented and enforced if it is to be referred to in any action.



We've suggested a proper compliance level archival service in order to allow 
for emails to be restored even when users delete emails from their machines 
(and their recoverable deleted items in this case). Elsewhere we have used 
similar services to also report on certain file types, file names and sizes of 
files being sent, and use them to bounce emails under certain conditions. 
Bouncing certain emails, while a very limited short-stick, does allow for the 
policy to be seen to be in place if people are as silly as to send out 
documents with certain names etc (like Accounts2008.xls etc).



What do other companies do to help either prevent people sending docs out, or 
to cover themselves legally should they have to take action against a user for 
doing so, or to highlight when a user is doing so?



Olly
