The increasing use of the internet as a fundamental work tool has given rise to management problems with organisational and legal implications. Whether it is an ISP – internet service provider – or company providing network services – or firm that uses the internet for its core business, recent norms on security now oblige companies to equip themselves with tools for managing and controlling web traffic.
CSP’s applied research has given rise to CIA – Central Intranet Auditor – and SpyNetLog, solutions for monitoring and controlling internet traffic and data developed in line with current legislation regarding the services of ISPs and companies that handle sensitive data.
In particular CIA – Central Intranet Auditor – is a software solution designed to ensure compliance with the rulings issued by the Data Protection Watchdog (Garante Privacy) regarding the logs held by system administrators.
Indeed the ruling of 27 November 2008 regarding “Prescribed measures and precautions for those handling data using electronic instruments regarding the attribution of roles to system administrators” introduces the requirement for companies to keep access logs (audits) for at least six months, in unmodifiable and inalterable archives.
