MagyarulDo you have a fired or disgruntled employee looking for the Report piracy hot-line number? Is she ready to report anonymously your company as an ideal place for illegal software usage?
If the answer is no, you are lucky. And pay special attention to this matter from now on.
There are more and more articles published in the media about police raids, ex parte seizures performed by various authorities. All that related to software legality. This can happen to anyone. Anyone. From our experiences we know that:
- No one is immune. No matter how large your company is and who the owners are.
- None of the general managers can delegate all of their responsibilities to the colleagues.
- There are (general, IT and financial) managers, not sleeping for months.
- Prevention works. Correction in these particular cases doesn't.
Until now, there was no place to seek advice for.
Since our specialists were soon there after the police raid happened talking to IT Managers, administrators, even policemen, we have a picture of how the examination procedure is performed.
The probably unique ad acta knowledge-base for preparing the company for an unwanted software piracy audit, raid or ex-parte seizure performed by various authorities (police, tax office, Business Software Alliance); with software management policies based on industry standards (COBIT by ISACA, and CSM guide by SIIA) we tried to assemble all the related knowledge.
The ad acta is handed over to the managers during one-to-one or one-to-many interactive workshops usually lasting half a day. It is recommended, that:
- general managers
- HR managers
- PR managers
- security managers
- financial managers
- IT managers
- IT administrators
should take part in these workshops.
