Between Law and Reality - Internet and Email at the Workplace

Who can do what and when? How much surfing is private? How much is business? There are many rules on the use of Internet and email at the workplace. Whether and how they are checked is oftentimes just as hard a question to answer as the question of the foundation on which such rules are based.

Aurenz delivers the necessary answers, based on which executives, employee representatives, human resources and IT departments can make correct decisions for your company. We offer you a completely anonymous and non-traceable analysis of the current Internet use in your company.

The fact is that companies and other organizations that allow their employees access to the worldwide Web have to think about certain legal and, above all, financial consequences. Because every hour that someone is surfing privately costs the company cold hard cash. Not to mention the emotional reactions that come with complete bans or seemingly random rules.

The reasonably priced and quick Aurenz Analysis delivers a foundation that is in compliance with data privacy regulations, significant and above all, individualized. With this foundation you can evaluate your internal rules and adapt them accordingly. You learn,

  • how many hours total the Internet is used for private purposes,
  • how many hours the Internet is used privately per employee (anonymous),
  • at what times business and private Internet use peaks,
  • which websites are opened most often (e.g. Top 15),
  • the extent which private categories (sports, shopping, erotic etc.) are opened,
  • which legal consequences the results could have for your individual situation.

Aurenz's Analysis Service also includes valuable additional information that shed light on 

  • whether implemented control mechanisms suffice,
  • which legal unobjectionable control possibilities are available,
  • whether your employment agreements depict the situation in a legally unobjectionable manner,
  • which legal dangers exist for management, IT and data protection officers,
  • what legal liability there is,
  • which obligations to surrender and delete private emails have to observed,
  • how the mandatory archiving of business-related has to be handled.

Seize the opportunity and create a beneficial and solid foundation for decisions. The Aurenz Internet Analysis shows you how things really look in your company when it comes to Internet use and delivers valuable additional information that help you advance.
