Training Programs

Formal company “policies” serve two important legal purposes:

they define permitted (and prohibited) conduct and thereby create legal defenses you can use if an employee causes a problem through action that violates the policy
they create legal rights for the company (e.g., by defeating unreasonable privacy expectations)

But this isn’t enough. While it’s important to have all available legal defenses when you need them, it’s even more important to avoid problems in the first place. Effective training programs are an essential part of the overall risk-management process: raising awareness (of risks, and of legal requirements) will reduce the number and severity of security problems.

With our in-house experience and ability to collaborate with your legal, HR, IT, and security personnel, we’ll help you build an effective communication plan that not only “trains” your personnel, but also involves them in an iterative dialogue so you can learn from them (e.g., about emerging new web-collaboration techniques they’re experimenting with) and refine work-practices and affected policies. Working together, we’ll help assure that your company is protected, and that your employees have both the clarity and flexibility they need to do their work.
