Workplace Privacy & Employee Monitoring
Get informed consent before monitoring computer activity
Though not all jurisdictions require employee consent, transparency is a recommended best practice for monitoring employee computer activity.
Employees should know what data is collected, who will have access to it, how it will be used, and how it will be protected.
Do not monitor computer activity on personal devices
Employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy on their personal devices, even if they use them for work purposes as part of a BYOD program.
Limit monitoring to work-provided devices and internal network traffic rather than directly monitoring personal devices.
Avoid using invasive computer monitoring software solutions
When monitoring employee computer activity it is a best practice to avoid tracking far more than necessary to meet your company’s goals.
For example, to enforce internet use policies you can monitor web browsing. Capturing keystrokes is far too invasive.
Keep employee computer activity data safe from misuse
Employee computer activity data may be sensitive. Data such as internet search history and websites visited could reveal personal identifiable information.
When monitoring computer usage you must ensure that security measures are in place to prevent the data from being misused.

Does the CurrentWare Agent Continue Monitoring Employees and Enforcing Policies Without an Internet Connection?
Yes. The computer monitoring software agent that is installed on the employee’s computer has the ability to restrict and monitor the device even if it does not have a connection with the CurrentWare Server.
The client agent stores and enforces the policies locally on the device. CurrentWare’s last known policies will continue to be enforced even if the computer loses internet connection or connects to a different network.
Note: If you wish to update policies on client agents outside of the network they will need to be able to communicate with the CurrentWare Server. Once a connection is reestablished you will receive your employee’s computer usage data and any CurrentWare policy updates will take effect.
Can CurrentWare Monitor & Manage Remote Workers Without a Cloud Deployment?
Yes. CurrentWare’s remote employee and computer monitoring software can be used to monitor off-site computers.
CurrentWare provides a variety of deployment and management options that make it the best employee monitoring tool to monitor employees who work from home, at off-site locations, or while travelling.
