Outbound electronic content in any organization must be monitored and managed in order to minimize risk and to ensure that electronic communication is appropriate and in compliance with an organization's policies, statutory obligations and industry best practices. Organizations should monitor all avenues through which employees may communicate, including email, instant messaging systems, blogs, wikis, personal Webmail accounts, message boards and other tools. The appropriate policies should be established and systems should be deployed so that an organization's risk from inappropriate use of electronic communication is reduced to the greatest extent possible.
