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.

Subject: Stopping users emailing out internal docs

 

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
