This innovative service was specifically designed to offer your company a customized solution to meet your needs. Our completed survey showed that most companies were being forced to participate in training where only half the training was beneficial. This is mainly due to companies offering fixed training packages that do not deviate to meet the needs of the client. DataClues not only provides customized training packages, our staff members have helped develop numerous classes. These classes have been so successful they are currently being implemented throughout the State of California. We provide training solutions by offering a fully customizable package. We have included examples of where we can help. This is by no means an exhaustive list and we encourage you to contact us to discuss your needs in this ever-changing field.

Internet Usage Policy:
DataClues can assist your company in the creation of an Internet Usage Policy. Upon implementation of the newly formed or enhanced policy we can develop course material and training sessions to bring your company into compliance. Some of the more critical concerns are e-mail usage, compliance in the event you decide to monitor e-mail usage, File Transfer (FTP) and file sharing software programs, instant messaging programs, and the use removable media devices to store data. Several companies have hired DataClues to install and implement Internet logging software, and train the I.T. staff on its proper use.

HR and Upper Management Training:
You have probably already found yourself in a position of pending termination with one of your employees. What are the legal ramifications concerning the misuse of company computers? Do you know what the statistics are on computer misuse in the corporate world? Have you ensured your policies will cover you in the event you face a wrongful termination lawsuit? DataClues can provide training seminars for your upper management or HR department on topics such as:

• Proving or disproving allegations
• Proactive intervention using monitoring tools
• Software usage policy review
• Employee training to protect you in the event termination becomes imminent
• Pre-termination assistance to minimize your potential lawsuit
• Working with the IT staff to implement evidence preservation technique

IT Training:
We have found that most, if not all, I.T. training staff have no computer forensic training. We have heard from several of our IT clients that they are being called upon to perform evidence-handling procedures that could have a detrimental effect on the company. Most are not aware of current legal issues dealing with laws that mandate data storage, hard drive recycling, SB 1386, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and several other laws. Combined with our training, background and technical knowledge, DataClues is able to assist the I.T. staff in developing specific guidelines and protocols regarding:

• Newly assigned computer equipment
• Recycling of old equipment and hard drives.
• Working hand-in-hand with H.R.
• Pitfalls to avoid during an internal investigation.
• Proper handling of possible criminal investigations.
• Legal obligations.
