8 August 2005: PixAlert has announced its new five-step Risk Assessment service that helps organisations to identify threats posed by illegal or inappropriate images stored on corporate PCs that can expose directors, managers and employees to criminal and civil claims.

According to a UK survey conducted by the Chartered Institute of Personal Directors (CIPD) and PixAlert, over 70% of UK companies have already had to take disciplinary action as a result of employees viewing porn at work. And in the US, the American Management Association reports that more than 27% of Fortune 500 companies have battled sexual harassment claims stemming from employee’s corporate e-mail and Internet abuse.

“Inappropriate content is not just being downloaded from the Internet but can now get onto the corporate network via devices such as memory sticks, DVDs/CDs, mobile phones and digital cameras,” said John Nolan, PixAlert, CEO. “It is a growing problem that if not addressed, can potentially threaten a company’s reputation and liability. PixAlert’s five-day, five-step Risk Assessment service gives companies peace of mind by proactively dealing with the threat and mitigating future risk.”

PixAlert’s Risk Assessment service comprises the following five-step methodology:
• Review of corporate legal and HR computer usage policies to gauge vulnerabilities for employee abuse
• Assessment of the quantity and severity of illicit images on a company’s network to determine corporate exposure to threats of illegal and
inappropriate images
• Alignment of porn prevention policies and procedures to meet company
strategic goals while minimizing risk to the corporation and enforcing good workplace ethics
• Communication to all staff to ensure employees understand new
acceptable usage policies and the procedures and repercussions if disregarded
• Enforcement of an enterprise wide process using porn monitoring and
auditing software to provide ongoing image detection, reporting and case management

PixAlert’s Monitor and Auditor software provides a strong complement to the PixAlert Risk Assessment service. Using patent-pending technology, PixAlert Enterprise delivers powerful multi-source image detection and analysis capabilities that provide comprehensive protection against inappropriate and illegal images originating from multiple network and desktop entry points.
