Yet that’s what turned up in a survey of 1,043 email users conducted by a the Association for Information and Image Management, which calls itself the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) association (an example of what happens when you seek to modernize your name but still own a longstanding brand and URL). For respondents in companies of all sizes, formal policies govern things like acceptable employee use of email systems, acceptable content of messages, mailbox size, and a company’s ownership of the email. Just 30 percent of respondents said they had any email encryption policy in place, and 37 percent had a policy for instant messaging — this despite 61 percent of respondents reporting concern about theft of confidential info or intellectual property via email.
