Email Liability

(as a specific alternative to Internet Liability)

You have probably already read stories in the news about computer viruses, and the forwarding of highly embarrassing personal email messages at work. But that is not all:

• Did you know you are legally responsible for the contents of every e-mail your employees send?
• Did you know your company can be sued if one of your employees transmits a computer virus?
• Are you aware of what your employees are saying about competitors or colleagues in their email messages – you are liable for any defamatory or discriminatory remarks that they make?
• Did you know that if anyone accidentally makes available any private facts via email then you can be sued as well as being reviewed under the Data Protection Act?

The fact is, these risks are very real, and no one is immune. Already, a significant number of organisations in the UK have had claims made against them that were not covered under their standard business insurance.

Many businesses are already taking steps to protect themselves against their e-mail risk. It is a problem, which is growing all the time – but, by taking measures to protect yourself against it now, you can protect yourself financially and begin to use your email technology in the confidence that it really is a business asset, rather than a liability.
