Hints and Tips for E-mail Policy

Deliberate Disclosure of Sensitive information

The following scenarios are examples of serious, deliberate abuse of e-mail:

• Sending of sensitive data out of the organisation
• Private use or disclosure of customer lists
• Disclosure of price lists

These examples are not exclusive to e-mail (anyone can carry printed copies of a price list in their briefcase). But e-mail certainly makes it easier, potentially less traceable, and allows distribution of huge volumes very quickly.
