Legal liability
Corporate bodies have always faced potential civil and criminal liability for their employee misuse of ICT resources. Now the criminal liability can be attached directly to the Directors and Senior Managers within your business.
This liability can be reduced by taking a preventative approach, reducing the risk of IT-related dismissals, tribunals and criminal proceedings associated with the following legislation:
- Obscene Publications Act 1964
- MOJ Part 5, Sections 63 to 67 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008
- Sex Discrimination Act 1975
- Race Relations Act 2002
- Copyright, design and Patents Act 1998
- Computer Misuse Act 1990
- Protection of Children Act 1978
- Disability Discrimination Act 1995
- Defamation Act 1996
- Data Protection Act 1998
- Section 8 Human Rights Act
