Most of the daily activities of network and system managers are likely to be subject to the law. Most things the law require are, in any case, good practice in operating networks and systems.

This guide offers information and advice around:

  • Monitoring your network
  • Investigation of staff and students
  • Disclosure of information to police and other law enforcement
  • Logs and data collection
