Internet Scams
Make certain your accounts staff are aware of
this internet scam. It could result in you losing your
domain name.
Internal Network Security
It is a fact that 70% of all data security incidents
are perpetrated from
the inside! Although you carefully vet your
employees when you hire them
mistakes can happen as can malicious behaviour. Some
of this is likely to be
due to someone 'experimenting' or just making a mistake,
either way good internal
data security is essential for your peace of mind. NSI
can audit your internal security and produce a report
highlighting the vulnerabilities
and suggest actions to minimise the risks to your
company and it's data.  Mail Screening
As the head of any British company is now legally
responsible for all date residing
or originating from that company, it is becoming
increasingly important
to know exactly what data is entering and leaving
your company.
NSI can install monitoring software which
can alert on specific criteria
whilst monitoring your inbound and outbound Email. By
setting special parameters,
specific to your company's profile mail can automatically
be checked for inappropriate
content, scripting and even viruses.
Staff Browsing Protection
and Auditing
As is the case for Email, web browsing in any organisation
should be tightly controlled, or at least monitored. There
have been cases of senior
company officials facing criminal charges because
of their legal
responsibility for their staff's actions.
Consider
a user who browses to a
site containing illegal images, even by accident. The
images which they
see are cached (stored on their PC) automatically
by their Internet Explorer browser.
Later one of these images is discovered by a service
engineer - or someone else
from outside the company who is using that PC. The
head of the company is legally
responsible and subsequently charged because of this
evidence.
NSI can install and configure special software
to tightly control
what content can be viewed by your staff. This
system also logs and
reports on all browsing activity by username, making
it easy to monitor your staff's
browsing habits.
Staff Policy Draft and
E-enforcement
We have already covered E-enforcement in the previous
two sections.
However, how do you decide what is acceptable browsing,
inappropriate content for inbound and outbound Mail? NSI
can help you to draft a policy
which is unique to your company. This makes
life easier for all concerned,
since your staff can and must, refer to the policy
and they
know exactly what they can and can't do, and the
board can relax in the
knowledge that there are definitive documentary
standards which
are being enforced.
There
is also a need for a security response policy, a
document outlining the
action to be taken in the event of a data security
breach or a virus or any
other disaster, having a clear plan of what to do
in the event of a problem
provides much needed peace of mind to those responsible
for the companies data.
