the way i see the question.
its not so much about preventing the leak
its more about, how to gather back the trust of the CEO. -
I knew of my team member using means to get money from the petty cash and he got away with it for many months. It was until accounts started to track the guy. With the evidence, they asked him to leave.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Feasible?

Anyone can become a leak. Especially disgruntled employees. -
if the CEO really doesn't trust the IT admin, the CEO would sack him immediately to prevent further damage, OR hire someone to watch over the IT dude and when the IT dude really leaks info, he'll be sued

Gather the trust... hmm...
Hard to leh...
Sian, this case very sticky. IT admin suspected of leaking info, CEO no longer trusts her, yet at the same time has to protect the company's assets without going through the admin's hands, which is utterly impossible. -
IT admin is you is it.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Gather the trust... hmm...

There's only one IT admin, need more than one IT admin to trace out the whole thing. Maybe could hire another. Hmm... -
No.Originally posted by the.owl:IT admin is you is it. -
trust is bullsh it lah... in this world we need practical steps. Delegation of previlledges seperately to different admins and also auditing helps etc.

i think trust is built up, not implemented by policies.
perhaps one way is to just build good relations and have all colleagues be accountable to one another?
i suppose that's what "cohesion days" and all that is for.. but.. haha, of course such implementations are usually just ideals..
i dunno, if you like working in your current place, you won't screw your employers i guess? how you wanna achieve that.. i think you guys can figure it out right? we don't need more textbooks.. -

Sadly this world is not as innocent as one would have tot. Trust is build only on top of the basis of policies..... Singapore isn't low corruption because of trust but a sets of clear defined rules and contingency. If you're working in management, you'll understand what I mean. Never trust people in business.... even if you does its because you already have something to fall back on.

The company is in deep trouble now because there's no backup plan.
That's why this case is so sticky, very hard to handle without alarming the IT admin and putting the company in danger of losing data. -
The IT admin wants a pay rise?

Most likely.
Maybe also want to hop over to the other company. -
pay the admin more money lor, higher pay, less corrupt.

Works for our PAP govt, it should work.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:LOL, if it works. -
Initially there should be a good sets of rules already. Data should never be handled by one person alone. Else if he does any changes all die liao... Now the only way to handle it is that records any of the data. Get more witness if he does anything funny I think you can report to police. Think its somehow consider vandalism or fraud or whatever if he tried to destroy your data.
