It would depend on the procedures in place at different institutions but for example Gmail can be accessed by students long after graduation (an opqaue comparison) and the college may not have access to the email contents. Email and files can reside in the cloud so a physical location-specific argument may not hold. Other companies may have different procedures. Organisations can and do leave extra security procedures at the discretion of employees who could arrange extra encryption themselves which the organisation would not have access to.<br /><br />The current civil case seems interesting but I would imagine that the Good Practice Guide will hold through. A criminal case would be perhaps more interesting and hopefully the judge will make reference to what would happen in a criminal context too.<br /><br />LorcanLorcan Hurleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060198.post-4445791661450208772010-11-11T18:29:02.869+00:002010-11-11T18:29:02.869+00:00Any half-competent organisation will change passwo...Any half-competent organisation will change passwords and keys when staff that know them leave an organisation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
