Things are no different here in Australia. We have heated arguements with
accountants on a regular basis over implementing a proper password policy.
We still have clients who have every user with the same password, passwords
that are the user's first name, "password", blank passwords & other silly
things. We have lost customers by insisting they use passwords properly.

If users don't have a valid password policy all the rest does not matter.

The attorneys and CPA's I work with are incredibly disinterested in all
the things you mentioned.

They allowed me to include an email disclaimer and I put a password on the
Veritas Backups. That's it.

But I do make it a point to explain these things to them, I probably
should have them sign off though.

I'm wondering if there are any special settings or set-up procedures for
specific client types such as CPA's, lawyers, doctors, etc., and what is
involved with regard to SBS2003.

Three things that come to mind are:
1. secure/encrypted backups
2. secure sending of email (not OWA)
3. password requirements.

What I would really like to see is either a web site or a document with
each
profession listed and a list of what is considered good practice in that
industry and what is required by that industry.

Out of curiosity, is there any point as a consultant or employee that we
can
be held legally liable for not following through on due dilligence(sp?)
on
meeting legal requirements?

Thanx, David.
