Are logs a legally essential?
Posted by abluegrape, 02-24-2008, 11:57 AM Strange question from me - I am just about to launch a new service but needed to know if logs are legally necessary - i.e. is there a law saying if I offer access to a server I am legally required to hold logs of all activity? The service itself is all above board so there is no question from the business side. All I will record is a log in name and associated IP to ensure that one account is not being accessed by hundreds of different people! Thought I would try to get this clear in my head before going ahead and launching! Cheers Ryan
