That thought process works in a large organization, but not in a small one. A very small company just works differently. There are no handbooks (I once worked for a company for two years before they put out an employee handbook, and it focused on benefits), there are no policies, there is a handful of people trying to get the job done. Each person manages their own computers if they're technically able. Action such as "let me look at your computer" are taken personally, and are very damaging to morale. You may as well fire him after you demand to look at the computer, it will end there in the long run. You've gotten some good ideas, best of luck! -Michele < snip>
dont see why this has gotten to such a big thread... Employee = Company Asset Laptop = Company Asset ------------------------------ no violation or reasonable expectation of privacy regarding said Company Asset laptop. It is a company asset, period. ( just like the packets originating from Company network assets ) solution: 1. Call local FBI, aprise of situation. 2. take the laptop away. 3. suspend employee pending forensics. ( same as if if an Employee is suspected of using / doing illegal activity from the company car. While the Employee can take it home and use it for personal use, it is a Company asset and therfore enjoys no reasonable expectation from the protection of privacy. ) M.W -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Are you using SPI, Watchfire or WhiteHat?
