NEWS Email security specialist Failsafe Computing is offering businesses a 'no win, no fee' email audit after it claimed that 25 per cent of emails at work have nothing to do with business. Failsafe will send in a security consultant to audit email traffic for a week. If the audit fails to show that a quarter of your emails are for personal use, you pay nothing. And if your employees should protest about their emails being investigated, Failsafe has an answer for that too. A Failsafe spokeswoman said: "Most companies are not interested in snooping on their staff. They accept that a certain amount of email will not be strictly business-related, but everyone needs to be concerned about extreme cases where security is compromised, where a PR disaster is in the making or where costs are running out of control."
