Do you know which of these have unrestricted access to the Internet?

Do you know exactly what software is installed on each PC?

Do you know that your staff or contractors have not installed any software onto your PCs without telling you?

Do you understand your legal position regarding your own and your staff's responsibility for the software installed on your computers?

Are you abiding by the legally binding terms and conditions that you agreed to when installing your software programs?
