Marilyn, the US vs. EU question around privacy generally and employee privacy specifically is very interesting. A few years ago I would have described the EU and US as both modeling different regulatory approaches to the...

Dave, it seems from your blog that Europe is ahead of the US in terms of employee privacy rights. Do you have a sense of why that is, and who are the industry leaders?
In reply to: Re: Workplace Data Privacy Vs. Security: The New Balance
It might seem obvious but our research found that 29% of the IT professionals we surveyed (250 in UK and 250 in US) told us their organizations doesn't have a security policy in place. It's great to have a policy that covers...

In reply to: Re: Sensitivity make this difficult
This is always an area where people tend to tip-toe around due to its sensitivity and diverse differences between different corporations and culture. While security should be the main focus, studies have shown that...

Another excellent question Marilyn, thank you. Gut feelings, or put another way, intuition, can certainly catalyze and inspire investigation and analysis. Not every feeling or intuition is going to lead in a...
In reply to: Re: Lowering the noise level -- gut feelings
