Your welcome - I found some good stuff in there (the paper not the
lexusnexus search)

Adrian,

This came down in my RSS reader from SANS reading room just this week
(have
not had a chance to read it) but thought I would share.

Hope it helps. I think I may read it now myself

Out of curiosity, does anyone here work with workplace monitoring and the
law? It seems that under most cases, if a company owns a network, they
can
monitor anything employees do on it, but are there exceptions? For
example,
let's say the company has an "Incidental computer use policy" that allows
the employees do do some things on the network for personal reasons. An
employee checks out medical information, or perhaps buys something online
with a credit card. If the company's monitoring system logs this, and the
data, what is their liability for having this "Personally identifiable
information"? Are they allowed to see it?

Also, for public (government) employees, it seems that there are certain
4th amendment protections, but I'm still researching these.
