Content Filtering

With the introduction of regulations and guidelines such as Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, Data Protection Act 1998 and Guidelines for Employee Monitoring 2003 Current Legislation, organisations are under increasing pressure to ensure that they have an Acceptable Use Policy and methods by which to enforce it. It is critical that companies that provide Internet access to their employee base ensure that such use is controlled and monitored in order to ensure that issues relating to an organisation's vicarious liability are limited as far as possible.

Additionally, organisations now face the added problems of unwanted spam email. This is a growing problem, despite European legislation introduced in 2003, in both the consumer and corporate markets with the amount of spam email exceeding legitimate email this problem will only increase.

A number of technology solutions are available to provide such control based tools. Vendors such as Websense and Trend Micro produce product-based solutions which enable enterprises to carefully and legitimately control resource access in addition to providing 'value add' functionality such as reporting and management functions.

Dataspire works with best of breed vendors to ensure that any content management solution is fully tailored to a customer's specific requirements and budgetary considerations.
